Seeing: 7 Transparency: 5 Moon: 0%
Blue-white, the double star catalogs go a little bit crazy here with multiple companions listed all the way down the alphabet to I, the C companion is the most notable as a 7th magnitude star visible 75" west, the double HJ1888 visible 1' northwest is listed as F and G, the C companion is actually C and D a 7/9mag 1.5" pair not split in tonight's conditions.
Reviewing what Gaia data is published to SIMBAD shows that much of this is a true dynamic system, the C, D, F, G, and I components sharing quite comparable proper motion and parallax, a multiple star system or a small cluster?
