This should be a hit at star parties! Imagine showing the public a nearby relative (well, not that nearby at 110 lys) to our Sun. And the fact that it's visible in low power binos and small scopes. There's also a link near the bottom of the article to download a 410 KB JPEG chart (my best guess is that it's near the double/multiple star 90 Hercules) that identifies HD 162826. http://www.utexas.edu/news/2014/05/08/sun-sibling-astronomy/ Tom Sevcik
