Although this faint object lies close to the naked eye pair of Mu1 and Mu2 Scorpio, its low magnitude in a rich field makes it hard to pinpoint. However, once found it is unmistakable and well justified for joining a list of classics. This is a nicely separated pair of contrasting colour. A Yellowish primary with a Bluish companion.
