Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 5251 is a triple star. Bigourdan has only one estimated position for this, but it is fairly close to the triple (22 45 10, +11 09.8 for J2000.0), and the identification is not in doubt. Carlson has this listed as a single star, but the IC position is close to the triple, too, so I'm not at all sure why the Mt. Wilson folks called it a single star.
