It’s a rather open double with evident difference in magnitude between
components. It’s so easy to split that is even a bit bored. Another double
is located on the same field of view at 100x with the main component
rendered as orange. The coloration of the main component of h1470 is yellow.
Coloration of secondary not recorded.
