Seeing: 5-6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>.
Location of site: Annen, The Netherlands (53 N, 6 E)
Site classification: Village-backyard 
Sky darkness: 4 <Limiting magnitude>
Conditions: ---
Temperature: -5° C
Telescope: 8" SCT (Meade LX10)  
Magnification: 100x
 
Using 100x (skies didn't allow more) this is a real beautiful and colourful double. Star A is a deep-yellow, almost "light-orange". Star B is very close to it and shows no colour. Together they form a nice pair because of the small separation, the magnitude difference and their oblique position which gives them a somewhat "dynamic"appearance.

A dim pair, mag 7 and 8, but fairly easy to split at lower power. Not much else to say about this pair at this time.
