Bright main stars: A, B, C, D
Typical separations: ~8–13 arcseconds
Fainter companions: E (~4″ from A) and F (~4″ from C)
For A–D (8–13″ separations) Minimum: 30–40× Comfortable / clean split: 50–60×
A–D (the main four stars) : 口徑 50–60 mm (2–2.4")
E and F (fainter, closer companions) 口徑 9~10cm
Minimum aperture:
E: ~80–90 mm
F: ~100–120 mm (more difficult due to glare and faintness)
For A–D (8–13″ separations) Minimum: 30–40× , Comfortable / clean split: 50–60×
or E and F (~4″) Minimum: 80–100× More reliable: 120–150×
