["AJ Crayon" <acrayon@xxxxxxx>]

Jen, I've got observing notes that indicate same as Rick T and Sam.  My 
notes have reference to primary and tertiary star but not the secondary - 
don't know why.

In addition the notes include a reference to a May 1998 article in Sky & 
Telescope, page 102, about and article by Phil Harrington.  Unfortunately I 
don't have that issue - does anyone on this list have access and can provide 
additional information.

Regardless it is an interesting arrangement of stars that, personally, I 
like the name triangle in a triangle.

Clear skies,
aj

those of us on the "East" side know this as Farley's Triangle, named
after Don Farley who pointed this out to fellow EVAC members in the
late '80s. ...................sam
