Joe, According to the Astro-League's Double Star list, the separation is 9.5 arc seconds and the PA is 202 degrees. The primary star is 0.1 mag and the secondary star is 6.8 magnitude. Rigel was my first observed double when I bought my 4 inch refractor back in 2001. I'll try to take a picture of Rigel this winter with my digital camera. I don't know if more vanes could help. Debbie
