Description:
One of my favorite variable/binary stars. I've found it years ago just by wandering on the sky with my telescope, and it was very easy to notice it because of the beautiful red colour of the primary star. The companion has a bright blue colour, contrasting very nicely with the primary. Their luminosity is nearly similar, they resemble me of a miniature Albireo. In fact the diameter of the FoV was about 1.5 times as large as displayed, but the sky was so dark that it was hard to see the border of the FoV in the eyepiece.
