50x no companion at all
at this magnification, 125x companion can be
seen but very close, still if paying enough attention it can be clearly splited but
there is a considerable magnitude diffrence between components. I
estimate it
around 2-3 magnitudes The main star seem to have a slightly blue color
375x The
split is more easy and clear but the magnitude diffrence and small
distance
between components stil put some little problems at first sight. Eye
estimation
done PA - around 70-80 SEP arround 3-4
