Observation Notes:<\/b><\/p>\n

This beautiful, close double star had a bright yellow primary and deep blue secondary. The contrast almost made the secondary look violet. My sketch suggests a position angle of 55\u00c2\u00b0 and a separation of 35″. Actual values from the AL double star list are 63\u00c2\u00b0 and 9.8″.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
