On my homespun chart this carries the designation SEE 180 and it sits
about a degree east of Centaurus A, the Hamburger Galaxy. At this hour
it sat at a comfortable angle on my South West horizon.
Comments: This double floats in a rich field of stars. The 6.5 primary appears Bluish/white and the wide(3.7") companion has a deep Rose colour . Another bright star is seen in the field at low power. HS 2 |
