Description:
I had planned to sift through the Cepheus doubles in Sissy Haas'
S&T article but the clouds thought better of it. Anyway, I got
this one done. It's quite an attractive pair, the primary being pale
yellow and the comes a pale blue. I estimated separation at 35arcsec
and poaition angle at 190deg (I was quite chuffed at this as the
S&T article gives 191deg). Quite easy to locate at this time of
year, almost straight overhead; it's not as good as Albireo but it's
still worth a look if you're in the area.
