10:35pm PDT. Wasn't sure
this was a double until I dropped in the 9mm
ortho. Close but easy tonight. Most enjoyable at 208x (5mm) with the
fainter
companion seeming to be further away for an imaginary 3-D effect.

A very pretty and bright
pair. The difference in brightness and the separation
make it a very nice picture at 100x. The primary has beautiful yellow
color and
the secondary gives a blue-white impression.
