Double star

Hi,

Coming back to this hobby and remember viewing a double star years ago one was white and one was blue i think,anyone know 

what this double was called? I think it was Patrick Moore`s fave

Thanks Kirk

Albireo? or perhaps Almach? They’re beautiful orange/blue doubles but maybe the orange looked white due to brightness - it does seem to vary depending on sky position

Welcome Krikus- but do check out Almach too- it’s just as beautiful and very similar but a bit tighter. Better positioned now too
