2020-04-11: Very wide pair of similarly bright components, unremarkable color. The double star stands close to the stars 27, 28 & 30 LMi and is probably more appealing in smaller binoculars.

ein schöner Fernglasstern - die beiden gleichhellen Protagonisten sind relativ hell und stehen weit auseinander, sie werden zudem von drei noch helleren Sternen im Süden flankiert - die östliche Komponente strahlt roséweiß, B im Westen warmweiß
