Description:
Member of the Pleiades, inside the bowl, created by Alcyone, Maia, Electra and Merope. This double wasn't on my list of doublestar to be observed and I discovered it by chance. Struve 536 is a beautiful double with components of the same brightness. Oddly, the components are of color bronzes (?).
