Description:
Another fairly tight pair, published separation of 4.3”. This was
notched at low power and split at high power. There is a definate blue
tint to the primary. I estimated the PA at about 250d. When I put the
low power EP back in and re-focused prepatory to going to my next
target, I was able to split it, perhaps the focus was a bit better
than the first time. This pair appears at one point of a squished
pentagonal asterism, rather like a diamond with one point clipped.
