Description:
Delta Ori Is easily split with my 25mm eyepiece, Fainter companion seems to be
the same colour as parent although it may be in the cooler end of the spectrum.
In my FOV i can make out 10 stars at almost the same mag as companion star.
Delta Ori is very blue and ranks itself as my first double that i have split.
