Description:
In Draco, at ~ 1¼° SW of Grumium (Xi Dra). In spite of components of low
brightness, I am able to separate two stars in this quadruple star without
difficulty. The northern component seems to me the brightess but, in fact, it is
that which is in the south which is brighter (difference of 0,408 magv).
