Description:
Easily found. It, delta and epsilon form a chain. The brighter delta is in the middle, and pi is the farther of the two ends. Easily split at even 32x, however at this power a diffraction bar almost hid the secondary. The primary is a nice sapphirfe blue, but the faint companion’ color I could not detect. Separation was 32”, PA, average of 3 measures, 170°
