Also found this at 40X. This double is similar to the first two but the separation is much greater than the first two. The double makes a perfect right triangle with two field stars just below the double. Other than the right triangle the field is on the sparse side. Primary is white with a tint of yellow and the dim secondary is white with a tint of blue. Rating 2.5. | |||

Cataloged as STF 307.
Again the popular yellow and blue, but more towards the yellow-orange tone
and pure blue vice sky blue. I think that the Swedes are going to take
the medal for quantity tonight. Measurements: 29.2 sec, PA 300 deg.
