Description:
A quad system, with a very tight pair, a modestly wide 3rd member, and a faint 4th. The tight pair, which I assume to be A-B, were first elongated at mid power
(120x) and split at high (200x). A modest but easily splittable distance
away was a presumed C, and quite far away was a very dim, but still
noticable with direct vision, D. The A-B pair I saw as yellow, the C as
blue (occasionally seemingly green). The fourth was much to dim to
detect color.
