Notes:   Candidate binary, 2MASS colors consistent with dK3-5 or dM2-3, a < 4″ (2007AJ....134...26H and references therein). 1977MNRAS.181..713W suggest that this object is a possible cataclysmic variable; they do not show its spectrum, but say that Hα and Hβ have emission-line cores, and that it is a possible old nova. Red near-IR colors reported independently by 2007ApJ...654..499K.
