Description:
In Coma Berenices, at ~4¼° W of Alpha Com. Double star easy to split at 9x and it shows 2 components of the same brightness. While looking at there more closely, the star which is more in the west (32 Com) is slightly more brilliant. This double star offers a beautiful sight by the color contrast between the components: the primary star seems dark orange and the secondary is green.
