Eps Lyr -double double with extras?


Recommended Posts

Just re-reading Mary Proctor's "Everyman's Astronomy", 1939, p39 and she mentions the Double Double ( discovered by Herschel in1803) "Between the couples, there are three faint stars.....With a 5" telescope a fine view should be obtained of this little colony of stars"

I've looked at this double many times but never noted these stars!!!??

Checking TheSky; there are actually five stars in the region:

GSC 3122.1635 - 10.43mag

GSC 3122.926 - 11.7mag

GSC 3122.2161 - 12.2mag

(These I assume where the three mentioned (?)) and

GSC 3122.2034 - 13.0mag

GSC 3122.497 - 15.7mag

Has anyone noted these stars, or imaged them???
