Located to the upper-left
of the bottom corner of an upside-down pyramid,
the 'A' star carried a gold tone... the 'B' star was too dim to recognise a color.

Absolutely no problem splitting
this with the 9mm eyepiece. With better transparency, it would need only
“a quarter of an eye” to split it!. Primary seems to me yellowish-orange
and while I can not guarantee a color for the secondary, I suspect is colder.
Good double for bino observing.

A very wide pair. Observed
with 70x and interesting because of the beautiful orange color of the primary.
The secondary seems to be white.
