Equal
pair of very dim stars. Primary
a warmer color than the secondary. And here is the interesting thing of
this
pair, there seems to have been a change as to the primary and the
secondary
designation over the years, as the WDS has 131 for PA and the project
311. Since the magnitudes are 10.22 and
10.24 this seems like a toss-up anyway. Measured, 3.0 sec at
129.5 deg PA, or
309.5 if you like.![]() |
