Range is for the combined brightness of the eclipsing binary and the V= 3.83 companion 0".27 away. Min II V= 2.27. Eccentric system with apsidal motion (per= 201 years) probably caused by the tertiary component. Elements given are for Min I. Elements for Min II= HJD 2448742.21 + 5.73240 x E. Sidereal period 5.732436 d.
