A pretty double, both blue-white with a 7th magnitude companion visible 1' southwest, the primary is 37 Her, the companion listed as 36 Her
Gaia EDR3 data shows closely matching parallax and proper motions for the pair, both stars B9V

Seeing: 7 Transparency: 6 Moon: 0%
A lovely binary, a 6th magnitude white with a 7th magnitude white companion visible 5" southwest, Gaia EDR3 and Hipparcos data show comparable proper motion and parallax for the pair
The companion is one of Smyth's infamous green stars, given no particular color contrast from the primary it is difficult to excuse this fanciful excess in color description
