Brilliant white, an 11th magnitude 3.4" companion not visible
WDS lists two companions, B an 11th magnitude at 3.4", and C a 9.4 magnitude 75" northwest. Both of these appear to be physical companions. C shares the same high proper motion and parallax of δ Scl. There is no Gaia DR2 data for B, or any other PM or parallax motion in SIMBAD, but the star has remained in the same proximity to δ Scl for 140 years with its very high PM of 101mas/yr in RA and -105mas/yr in declination.
