I had already observed five of them, but Struve 3053 was a new observation. It was a wonderfully colorful surprise. The primary was a nicely saturated yellow with a deep blue secondary. The PA appeared to be about 80\u00c2\u00b0 with a separation of about 24 arc seconds. WDS measurements from 1832 list 70\u00c2\u00b0 PA and 15.2 arc second separation. The double can be found listed under HIP 207 and HIP 209.
