Located in the "upper back"
of Leo between the sickle and the tail end triangle just below the Leo
Minor border. Visually this is very difficult due to the faintness and
closeness. Both appear blue and the double looked like a N/S streak most
of the time occasionally breaking into a peanut shape, never fully split.
Difficult target for the video camera, measured 0.56 sec, 187 deg PA.
