Back in early April 2014, while hunting for a supernova in the galaxy cluster ACO 779, I had noted a double star to the south-east. But this double was not shown in the SkyTools 3 Pro software. It shows TYC 02496-1118 1 as a single orange star.
I checked the Aladin atlas. Closely matches my photo. The double, in this image, is below and slightly left.
I checked the WDS. I found something, an entry for the designated location:
09198+3344HJ 2493 1831 2014 6 170 162 6.0 10.3 11.16 11.7 +011-007 +016-007 091951.68+334238.2
Parsed the data.
full WDS identifier: 09198+3344HJ 2493
number of observations: 6
magnitudes: 11.16 11.7
observations: first; last
date: 1831 2014
theta (PA) °: 170 162
rho (sep.) ": 6 10.3
proper motion RA ": 11 16
proper motion Dec ": -7 -7
precise coord. J2000: 091951.68+334238.2
precise decimals RA: 09h19m51.68s
precise decimals Dec: 33°42'38.2"
So, nothing surprising here (again). I had seen a known double, HJ 2493, discovered by John Herschel. The issue is that it is not in ST3P.
