Comments Primary Colour:
Yellow Secondary Colour:
yellow/orange General Notes: single star in 18mm,
Elongated in 9mm.
This is a tougher split than STF1890 due to magnitude difference
between the
components. No field stars visible at x267. |

Easy couple but already
rather close, formed by pretty
bright stars. The primary is whitish with some yellowish reflexes. The
secondary one is a little more dim (few tenth of magnitude, I
estimated) and
slightly more white than the primary. The rings seem in contact. PA
estimated
about 50 degrees. Really a nice and interesting pair for medium
instruments. |

Not truely split at x96
but clearly oval in shape.
Tried other magnifications,no improvement. Quoted as 2"arc, with the
above
sky conditions it is not supprising I could not split.Stars,
white/white |
