Description:
Elongated at 32x, split at 48x, although unaided the companion was all but drowned out in the glare of the primary. I resorted to a Hartman mask to cut down on this glare and the companion shown forth cleanly. Primary is a brilliant yellow and the fainter secondary was blue. At times it appeared green. The green color was even more apparent at higher power. Separation: 13”, PA: average of 3 measures, 108
