Description:
I was trying to find NGC6826 (Blinking Planetary), so I starhopped
from Theta Cygni (m=4.6). Around 1 degree towards NGC6826, I found
double star 16 Cygni (m=6.3/6.4, d=40") with a dimmer double *
(m=9.8/10.1, d=52") just 5'40" away. Those two pairs each having two
almost mutually identical stars are eyecandy in their own right :),
quite apart from the Blinking Planetary (which I didn't find this
time) that is in the same FOV. :)
