Description

The double star Albireo is one of the most observed double stars. The reason is probably the big difference in colors. While Albireo A amber glows, Albireo B has the typical sapphire color. Both stars are 35" apart, too small to resolve this double star with the naked eye.
No guiding, only lights.
