Nice one Martin. Skysafari tells me it's is 41capricorni, a double!

The blurb:
41 Capricorni is a 5th magnitude Double Star appearing in the constellation Capricornus. It is 231 light years from our solar system. It is a yellow-orange giant of spectral type G9III. Its surface temperature is 4730 Kelvins - 18% cooler than the Sun's - and it is 10.4 times the Sun's diameter in size. This star's total energy output, or luminosity, is 49 times the Sun's, and it has a mass of 1.1 Solar masses.

This star is part of a double or multiple star system, but its orbit is not known. Its magitude +11.2 secondary component appears 5.2 arcseconds away, corresponding to a physical distance of at least 368 AU from its primary.
