Brilliant pale orange, an 8th magnitude 4" companion not visible, a wide double with the 5th magnitude HR 6130 visible 10' north
WDS also lists the 8th magnitude 10' west-southwest as the C companion, Gaia EDR3 data reveals this star to be a background star, HR 6130 is likewise unrelated as parallax and proper motion do not match
