This is a nice wide double, and would be a good target for small aperture telescopes. The main component is pretty bright (magnitude 3.5) and has a definite yellow cast to it. The secondary star is much fainter (magnitude 8.7) and has a blue-white tint. This pair is a lot like Albireo (b Cyg), except that the colors aren't as intense.
