Well, Steverino, looks like you found 3 stars in a triangle. They are GSC
1883:340, 159 and 173. Nothing in the WDS about them, and a query at SIMBAD
turned up nothing.
Chance alignment, probably. Write it up and submit it to the JDSO or The
Webb Society and you may be given credit for Coe 1.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Triple star designation near ZZ Gem
Howdy folks;
While observing ZZ Gem with the TV 102 several days ago, I noticed a
triple star. It is an almost matched triple of 10th magnitude stars and
they are in an almost equilateral triangle. That is a rare triple if I
ever saw one.
I cannot find a designation for this triple, other than Coe 1...ha ha.
Anyway, they are located at 06 26 20 and +25 16 31. I got that position
by centering up this triangle and asking the CGEM mount for a position
with the "Get RA-Dec" command.
I hope someone can help;
Steve Coe
