Description:
Another easily found pair. With gamma as the vertex, near tau is a line of 3 stars, about 120° angle from this is 59. Easily split even at low power. These both appeared blue to blue/white to me, although not as brilliant blue as other seen tonight. Separation is 16” and PA averaged at 330°
