Close to the yellow Omicron
Psc and in the same field at 48x I find a small asterism of 7m stars that
remembers me the Hydra's head. In the equivalent position of Eta (in Hydra)
is this pair. Nice and bright, white components, barely split at 48x but
clearly at 100x.

Mag.
7.1/7.3;Sep. 5.1". You will find this striking double located in a beautiful
pocket of stars NW of Omicron(110 Psc). Even my 10X50 finderscope
showed a rich haze of stars in this location. The primary is a light Blue
and the slightly fainter secondary has a Rose-coloured hue. The pair sit
on the edge of an almost perfect diamond of stars of similar brightness.
