Not all star charts are the same. Why? I don't know. On my big giant planisphere it shows Pi Andromedae as a Double Star but the star chart in the book NIGHTWATCH doesn't say it's a double star. This is one of the neat things for me to investigate. The mission maps that I put together to use are a composit of things from different charts plus stuff that I want to add like measurements.

That's interesting. You'd think that nowadays all these sources would have the same, accurate information.

I haven't checked online sites to see what they say about it yet.

Will I be able to split it and with what?

According to this site it's 'easily split.' I'm guessing that a small telescope should be able to do it, though binos might as well.

I'm not finding anything on splitting this with binos. You can always give it a go, I guess.
