Description:
Alpha Cap, a separable double star with naked eye. Obviously, I separate well Alpha1 and Alpha2, each one raising a colour white-yellow. What I tried to find is the companion of Alpha1 but, unfortunately, it remains invisible, probably because of the large differential of brightness between 2 stars.
