Description:
From the connie of Gemini, this was appropriately enough a pair of twin,
mag 8 stars appearing as a colon in the sky with their verticle
orientation in the EP. The punctuation make, not a lower intestine, that
is. Easily split at low power (80x), they both appeared yellow to me.
Although not overly bright, they were still a pleasant pair to look at.
