looked into A 666

Had a look-see at the multi-star system A 666 (aka palindromic HD 42924). Pulled the current data from the Washington Double Star database... In particular, I was wondering about the bright star between A and C/D.

Ah. Found another star. An E companion. But when I reduced the data and plotted it (in my Excel tool), E showed up to the south-west. Oh.

So I still don't have an answer per se.

And it suggests there's an E star to view... But I didn't log anything Friday night other than A and C. If the magnitude value of 13.8 is correct, it will need aperture.

And D? Hopeless probably at mag 14.8.

Anyhoo. The system in Monoceros remains on the View Again list. Should go after it with a big OTA to pull out the faint and tight elements.
