This is a nearly identical pair of stars separated by 2.8". Estimates of the magnitudes of these stars vary. The brighter star is somewhere between 5.8 and 6.2 magnitude while the secondary star is around 6.7. To my eye they are nearly identical in brightness, which favors the latter estimate for the brighter component. Both are spectral type F5, main sequence stars. I noted that both are yellow-orange in color, with the fainter slightly more orange. It is not yet clear if these stars form a physical pair.
