I couldn't decide if I had
split this double at first and went back to it many times before I was
happy that I had seen the tiny mote of a
companion to 15 Aquila. I observed beta Cyg and 61 Cyg to check my technique and air quality and split both these. Just to make sure I couldn't resist setting up my 80mm w/v scope. X16 showed a purplish companion very well confirming my observation using the binocs. I found 15 Aquila by starting at M11 (
wild duck cluster ) which looked

A nice and easy bino double in the lower
part of Aquila. It is very easy to locate, close to the bright Lambda
Aql,
forming a curved line of three stars with Lambda and 14 Aql, where 15
is
in the middle. The double has a striking yellow colour, very obvious in
contrast with the blazing white Lambda. A look with the C11 confirms
the
color: A is yellow and B is orange.
