Double star very close to Venus this evening?


Recommended Posts

Just nipped outside in the freezing cold to take a quick look at Venus and Jupiter in the West using my SkyMax 127.

Venus is so bright it is hard to see a disk even at higher magnifications but I did see a double star system directly above it - perhaps 20 - 30 arc minutes above. The pair were separated by a couple of arc mins I'd guess, the brighter being whiter and the companion more yellow. 

Any ideas which double this would be?
