A remarkable triple star system, located at a distance of 200 light years. The two brighter components are separated by 7.2" and have magnitudes of 4.4 and 9.4. To resolve them, a telescope with an objective diameter of 6 to 8 cm is needed. In a good 100 instrument, a third companion of magnitude 10.4 will also be visible, at a separation of 69.6" from the main white star (the second component appears faintly yellow).
