The skies were clear and cloudless. I was observing with an Orion Observer 70 on an Alt-Az mount. I was able to find the double star Almach (Gamma Andromedae) by star hopping from Cygnus to Cassiopeia. The city lights make it difficult to see any but the brightest of stars and constellations. I was able to get the double star centered in my red-dot site and use the 10mm (70x) Explorer II to split it into two stars. One was clearly larger than the other. I thought the smaller one looked whitish-blue.
