This is the brightest "head" star of Orion. The stars are fairly close together. At 122x, they can be separated enough to see darkness between them. The primary is white and the secondary is yellow. With an 8" scope, 181x shows the split much better and provides a nicer view. The color contrast is obvious and beautiful. |
