Description:
When I first glimpsed this star, my jaws simply dropped and I regret, but the first thing I said was "oh f*ck". This is most probably the reddest star you can ever find. Everything I ever saw is surpassed by the looks of this star, although WZ CAS still rules the world of colourful stars with its nicely contrasting blue companion star. This variable star is a lonely one, and with its beautiful colour it's also an easy find, although it is a bit faint and you must prepare yourself for finding something in the FoV that is not a shade of white: interesting, but this uniqueness makes it a bit hard to find for the inexperienced eye!
This star is a MUST see object!
