Description:
Splits very nicely, although at 71 it displays no signs of being a binary, but at 250x it splits with a thin slit, however the component B is sometimes still covered by the diffraction spike of component A (to the SE). At 375x this very close binary splits nicely. It shows large difference in brightness. Both is white with A a bit yellowish while B very lightly bluish. I estimate A being 6.5m bright and B 10m. Note that catalogues list B as 7.7m, but I belive visually it's MUCH fainter than that! The estimated separation is 2" with a PA of 295°.
