This star
is easily seen with the naked eye as marking the SE part of the neck. I
found this an easy pair with the Whitish green primary in stark
contrast in colour and brilliance to the the overwhelmed Bluish companion.

The dim constellation
Crater
is visible just over my head now. Gamma is the second brightest star in
it. The proximity and 4 mag. in difference make the secondary hard to
detect; this is very subtle at 161x. Primary bright and
white-yellowish, the companion looks bluish.
