I was surprised to find this picture, it is of 14 Auriga. I studied this star 20 years ago, can't believe it has been so long. This is actually a Binary Star System, two stars orbiting very close together in a relatively short time. While in College I studied Binary stars and this was one of my subjects. We did differential photometry, collected light and studied the star by the changes in brightness.
