The primary appeared to
be white and the companion I couldsee, I guess it's the C star that's
listed on the projects site(S537),looked bluish. I had no chance to see
the B star that's listed as being 1.8" distant from the primary, nor the
D star which is listed as mag 12.8. Also visible in the same fov was S538,
an extra added attraction.;^)

This superb cluster of wide
doubles was not expected in this field. It is an arrow-shaped group of
5 stars pointing south and similar to Sagitta at low power.
Comment: I have obviously failed to detect any close companion but the delightful field is reward enough.

A very tight pair, nothing
could be seen at low power or mid power in any way
indicating duplicity. At high power the companion would pop in and out
of view.
