20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 76x
Seeing: 6 Transparency: 7 Moon: 0%
Yellow, no companion noted, while WDS lists a 13th magnitude 130" companion this seems unlikely in the midst of a star cluster
Gaia EDR3 data confirms the WDB B companion is a distant background star not associated with the Hyades star cluster
