Description:
Elongated and possibly split at low power and cleanly split at mid power. This pair is bluish white in color and appears equal in magnitude to me even though officially one is 0.1 dimmer than the other. To the SW is a much dimmer star, maybe about 20”-30” away, maybe about mag 10 or 11. To the north is a nice little grouping of about 9 stars, and to the south are some other dim stars.
