d Corvi


Delta Corvi forms the northeast corner of the squarish asterism, with gamma the northwest corner: binoculars. (Eta, the third star in the field of view, is a fainter 4.3 magnitude.)

Delta is a fixed binary with a quite faint but wide companion: 2.9, 9.2 with a position angle of 214º and separation 24". The binary has a pleasant colour contrast, a white primary and lilac companion.
