This wide pair has an interesting contrast in magnitudes. The brightest component is yellow, looking very much like one of the members of Alpha Cap. The companion star is a couple of magnitudes fainter, and is bluish-white. Through binoculars, both Alpha Cap and Beta Cap are easily resolvable and are in the same field of view. This makes for a striking sight.
