Located just below Orion's Belt, this multiple star system is a favorite. At 70x, The A component is bright white, with the slightly fainter E component having a wide separation. A third component, D, is also visible, about a third of the distance from A as the E component is. D is a little fainter than E, and was difficult to detect at 32x. Perhaps because of its faintness, D appeared to have a slightly bluish tint. |
