Re: The "Other" Double-Double in Lyra

CESD,
With a 16x70, this is definitely a challenge. I find the southeastern pair is difficult but doable, the other is extremely difficult, I just got it once or twice.

Through a telescope however, this is a unique sight at around 30x. The two doubles are so nearly identical in brightness and orientation that I can hardly tell the difference, yet you still have to scan across a considerable field to view one or the other. It does a funny thing to my head. I look at one, then the other, then the one, then the other, etc. This can go on for a long time before I've had enough!
Ron
