A nice and bright couple, beautiful view with the 30mm Ultima (93x), also because of the rich field. At the moment of observation the pair was orientated almost exactly vertical, which gave the view a bit of unnatural aspect. There seemed to be some colordifference between the components. The upper/northern star seemed a tiny bit more bright and somewhat yellowish. The lower/southern star looked (maybe a contrast-effect) a bit bluish. | |||

The relative faintness of
the system's stars made for a more problematic resolution. 40x gave me
a definite elongation S'. 85x gave me a double that made me work. I Tried
165x without much improvement.
