Robert Zebahl
B 8x40, Bortle 5, NELM 5.5 Well split, but I didn't recognised any color.
80mm f/6.25, 25x One of the most beautiful double stars in the northern hemisphere. Differences in brightness and color (orange-blue) are brilliant! Even under urban conditions with small aperture an enjoyment!

Robert Zebahl
naked eye, Bortle 6+, SQM-L 19.4 AD: Well split with noticeable difference in brightness.
B 8x40, Bortle 6-, NELM 5.0 AD: Wonderful double star for binoculars. Large distance of the components, brighter once (31 Cyg) appeared slightly orange, the fainter (Cyg 30) more bluish.
B 8x40, Bortle 7, NELM 5.0, SQM-L 18.6 AC: Observation at full moon. Easily split with big difference in brightness. Brighter component slightly orange. C component rather faint.
80mm f/6.25, 25x, Bortle 7, NELM 5.0, SQM-L 18.6 AC: Similar to the observation with binoculars. C component appeared bluish and gave good contrast to the orange colored 31 Cyg.
102mm f/11, 28x, Bortle 6+, SQM-L 19.4 Bright, wide apart and wonderful contrast in color. A: light yellowish-orange, C: blue, D: light blue.
