To be honest I am not 100% sure of this, as the secondary was very faint, at the limits of my equipment tonight, but I thought I could see something popping in and out at about the right PA.

Although located in a rich area of sky, near Pi and Delta Sco, this is not an easy star to locate. Perhaps my eyes were getting dark adjusted. The Primary is a bluish white while the comes took a long time to detect despite its wide (4.4 separation). Too faint to record colour.
