Observing Notes
Andrew Cooper
Feb 9, 2007 Waimea, HI (map)
76mm f/6 APO
Beautiful double, rich orange-gold and light blue, dimmer but more colorful than Alberio (β Cyg) or Almach (γ And), a nice object for public work, just a couple fields north of NGC2362

46cm f/4.5 Deep Violet
Stumbled across this gem while panning for NGC2362, beautiful blue/gold pair, a good winter stand-in for Alberio or Gamma And, if somewhat dimmer, the blue is listed at mag. 6.0, while the yellow is 4.8, separation of 30" @ 51°
