Here's my image of Albireo from 26/11/24 with full details.
Surely one of the best amateur sights in the sky and accessible to everyone. Even the numerous companions are available for modest scopes.

Note: even though companion L isn't visible in this image due to the brightness of A, it is there visually. Perhaps a little challenge for smaller scopes?

I see a discrepancy in the catalogues. 'B' is listed as B9.5, B8V and B8Ve - I'm not sure which is correct - I suspect the latter. 

There are a lot of faint doubles in this area. I don't have the catalogue to determine if they are actual or optical doubles and don't have the time or effort required to check the PM of each one! You'll note one star very close to companion J, probably about 6" distant - PM is completely different to the others so unrelated.
