Should be an
easy double
but had a little trouble splitting it because they appeared a little
dimm
because of a little haze there. Splitted but no colors detected.
Ambience: After a long period of cloudy nights, had a oportunity to start Corvus project. Sky conditions where not as good as I desired, but I was hopeless for an even so so observing night and that was what I had. Some clouds, some moisture and some haze. Despite of all
that, I took
my car and went to "Tijuca´s National Forest Park", anti-bug
lotion
in hands and wishes to see as many doubles as possible...

This fine
double forms a neat triangle with Alpha and Epsilon Corvi. This is a
faint, delicate pair whose Light Blue and Rose pastel colours seem to
shimmer together because of their closeness. Just separated at medium power but best seen at about X144. HS 2.

Lovely
view at 98x, with both stars being white, and earning a rating of 2E.

Not easy to find, subtle.
Dim
components quite close, well split at 32x-54x.
