Description:
At low power this appeared as just a mis-shapen, blue-white dot. At mid and high power a second dot was visible just off the primary. When looking at these at mid and high power, the color was yellow. I put the low power EP back in and this time, got yellow. Don’t know why they first appeared blue to me. There were about 5 or 6 rather faint stars in the low power FOV, one of which was still in the FOV at high power.
