Description:
An interesting triple, wide spaced and a bit on the dim side. It forms a very flat triangle with the brighter two stars on the south, and the third much farther away to the north and a bit west. The brightest star was the most southern of the lot. This was white with perhaps a tint of yellow, the next star was blue, as well as the thrid star, but this one was a bit hard to tell.
