Triple of two brighter and one
faint star. Project data for the AB pair seems to be from 1830, newer
data is
more consistent with my measure, but the AC pair had only two measures
listed
in the WDS, 1910 and 1923, and my measure seem to fall between these two, quite mystifying. Measurements, AB 28.13 sec at 016.3 deg PA, AC 51.37 sec at 325.0 deg PA. ![]() |
