   		 The observation of Espin 2625 + PPM 97528 has been made in a total Moon eclipse "environment".
 
With the Ranger, this pair of stars appear double at first time at only 24x so I register them as an easy and open pair separated by around 35". Later at home, I realize the secondary of Espin 2625 is (with the present sky darkness) far beyond Ranger's observational deepness, so the observed double is the "optical" double LE-1!
