Harrington sees the 3rd magnitude Primary as a striking
Yellow, while
the secondary is a mag. 6 Orange star. Two other stars in the field render a pretty picture. This was an easy object in the large Binox. I see the colours as Light
Yellow and Red. This object is best seen at low power and makes a wonderful
display piece.
