Yes, it is a fine double with a wide split at 100X which dominates a rich field of many stars. There are many fine optical double and triple stars in the field. Did you see the faint red star about 5-10 arc minutes away at about 300 degree angle?
Thanks Joe & Steve for you observations.

Steve, I failed to notice the red star. I like red stars, so I will look for it when possible.
