Description:
I was trying to find NGC6826 (Blinking planetary), so I starhopped from
Theta Cygni (m=4.6). Around 1 degree towards NGC6826, I found double star
16 Cygni (m=6.3/6.4, d=40") with a dimmer double * (m=9.8/10.1, d=52")
just 5'40" away. Those two pairs each having two almost mutually identical
stars are eyecandy in their own right :), let alone Blinking planetary
(i didn't find it this time) that is in the same field :).
