J 977 is about 12 arc min away from this, unnamed (Steve's Pyramid)
Asterism. Steve, what eyepiece where you using?
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray

Not so fast... J 977 is not at exactly this position. You northern star is
at 06 26 18.5 +25 15 47 while J 9777 is at 06 25 38.33 +25 16 17.8.
Besides, J 977 is too dim to be your star (10 mag); J 977 is 12.33 and 12.82
mag, 4.2" apart in PA 116.
This is an unlisted asterism.

Brian Skiff sent me this:
"The northern star is the 4" double Jonckheere 977, first recorded
more than 100 years ago."
So, even though there is no designation for the triangle itself, at least
one of the stars is a true double.
Well, it is pretty, so put it on your list for time out.
Clear skies;
