Description:
This is a pretty tight pair. It looked a little suspicious at low power, was definately elongated at mid-power, barely split at high power, and well split with the super-high power. It appeared to be a bit blue, or perhaps blue-white. While I was viewing this, a brilliant meteorite flashed through the FOV.
