Mag.6.9/8.4, 8" Sep. This star lies East
between the quad of Sag and the triangle of Xi, Omicron and Pi Sag.
Comments: I was surprised to find this
a closer pair than expected.
An interesting contrast of a Bluish
White primary and Yellowish companion, lying in a rich field strewn
with four wide doubles.
