Description:
A wide spaced triple, which shows as multiple even in the
finder. Forms as isoseles triangle with the primary at the vertex. At
120x, the primary is split into a double itself. It appears white with
perhaps a tint of yellow, the others do not have any color I can
detect. Separation from primary to the northernmost secondary is 2'
33"; PA 359.5d. Separation to the other is virtually identical, PA
162d. Separation on the tight double that forms the primary is only a
few seconds, to small to measure. The PA I estimate roughly 165d.
