After a couple of
abortive
attempts at some others, I located this pair. On the handle side of the
bowl there is a line of 3 relatively bright stars, this is the middle.
It was vry hard to pick up the faint companion, but eventually I
believe I was able to detect it with averted vision.

The magnitude difference
was
just too much; not even a hint of a companion.
