Components A, B, and C immediately visible in a 13 mm ocular. In 5.5 mm, A is compact with a faint extension from SW to midway to the star to the W. B is small and compact. C has the main body extending EW, a short hook from its W ends to the N, and a long extension that runs along the S side and to the W. There is a small edge-on to the NE [2MASX J23234754+1937097]. The star that is to the S of the edge-on is at the threshold [mag 17].
