Just next to the beautiful
starfield of Iota Ori this double cannot be missed with 100x. The distance
from Iota is only 20' so this double can be seen in the same FOV when using
low power. It is a nice double but needs better viewing circumstances,
I think. No colour seen, better skies and maybe higher power should bring
out some blueishness of the stars.
