Description:
A challenging pair. Nothing could be seen at either low or mid power; at high power I got a tight but definite split. I wondered why I had not been able to see anything at mid power, so I went back to this and careful focusing revealed a slight, tiny bump in the right location. Together the pair appeared yellow.
