Hmm, an interesting little
double. A good selection of this Mr. Hogeveen (how on earth do you pronounce
that name?)
Unfortunately this double will not appear on my website as a favourite. I cannot give it more than a 3 as rating. The pair is interesting because
it is a bit tight and shows as a figure 8 when using 93x. As the secondary
is just the right amount fainter this 8 looks very much like a little snowman.
Only this snowman has the wrong color, both stars are orange!
