20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 76x
Seeing: 7 Transparency: 6 Moon: 0%
Rich yellow, an 11th magnitude companion visible 150" northwest
The Gaia DR2 data shows that parallax and proper motion are completely consistent with this star being a physically bound companion. If it is the orbit must have a very long period as the PA has not changed in the last century, remaining at 317°.
