16 Cygni

[Richard N]

It wasn’t dark enough to do a lot last night but I did enjoy looking at 16 Cygni. The odd thing was at low power both stars looked yellow, at medium power both looked white and at high power one looked white and the other yellow. Thinking I was seeing things I decided it was time for bed. 
 

I do recommend 16 Cygni. Two widely spaced evenly matched yellow stars. Lovely.

Nice 😎 I'm looking at this on Stelle Doppie and am not sure if I'm understanding correctly: https://www.stelledoppie.it/index2.php?cerca_database=16+cyg&azione=cerca_testo_database&nofilter=1&section=2&ricerca=+Search+ It seems A and B are mag 6 and 6.2, and then there is another (C?) visible member of the system that's ~13 mag and 6.6" from A? I imagine C is hard to detect due to the great magnitude difference with A... but I'm gonna try because this seems like a nice system and I like a good challenge.

Sky Safari has component C at 15.8"from B.

I think the one you are referring to is the Ab element of the A component, which it gives at +13.0, being 3.2" from Aa.  As you say, that would be a good challenge for a smaller scope.

That's beyond my little scope.
