checked xi in Aladin

Pulled up the interactive Aladin Sky Atlas and studied the area around xi Ori. The little Sagitta.


The B, C, and D stars huddle below. And the star above, to the north, I have seen on two occasions now, appears to be between B/C and D in brightness. It is also interesting to note that the GSC star to the east is as bright as D.
