Star system description: SMA 75
A double or multiple star system in Ursa Major.
Pair AB (288″; magnitudes 5.21 and 7.35) is the binocular candidate in the catalog model. Actual resolution depends on magnification and stability.
The diagram uses the latest WDS measurements; north is up and east is right. Measurements may be from different years. Unconnected groups are arranged separately; close pairs may merge, and pairs without reliable geometry are omitted.
