This wide 6.8/7.6 double
lies off the Northern arm of this faint constellation. It has been seen
as 'White and Bluish', Yellowish White and Ruddy'and a 'wide Yellowish
pair.' They can be just separated in 7X35s but are a fine pair in the large
binoculars.
Comments: A careful study of the colours, which seemed clear in the 25X100, revealed a Yellow primary and a Pinkish secondary. A rich field with many interesting groups in the field.
