Description:
Questions were raised about my observation of this pair on 12/26/99. I
went back and this time I feel that I have observed the correct
pair. Not split at lower powers, at 72x I began to suspect elongation,
at 120x suspected splitting (but maybe this was wishful thinking). I
broke out the barlow and barely split it at 144x, and definately split
it at 240x.
