Seeing: 6 Transparency: 6 Moon: 0%
A pretty multiple star, at first glance a binary until the faint 9th magnitude star is noticed, a white 5.8 magnitude primary with a 7.5 magnitude pale yellow 13" southeast, 12" further south is a 9.4 magnitude third member of the group (this third member is listed in WDS as a member but GAIA DR2 parallax and proper motion indicate it is not physically associated while A and B probably are)
