Historical observation. Not from the official
period for this project.
A very poor double (rated 5) at 2014-3407. It offers a 6.7m K1 giant (yellow-orange) and 8.5m star (yellow-white) 3" away in PA 10. Both separation and PA seem to be unchanged since discovery. It was observed at 280x. If it is 434 light years away (as is believed), it is 37 times brighter than the Sun.
