Description:
In Cassiopeia, at ~ 2 ¼ ° E of Ksora/Ruchbah. In spite of my efforts, the
secondary remains invisible at binoculars. The great gap in magnitude makes the
components very hard to split (the primary star is 40x brighter than the
secondary). The primary star is blue. Open clusters NGC 663 and NGC 659 in the
same FOV.
