Great report pgc hunter, like the HH obs!
Re your query, if the 'star' is the one in attached pic (7176 with cross), then it's two essentially super-imposed stars, the brighter of which is USNO-B1.0 0580-1062422. Vis magnitude don’t know, although if I loaded enough catalogues no doubt I’d find out! B1=15.57, B2=15.38, R1=14.29, R2=15.38, I=14.36 given. Dim anyway!
Info & DSS pic from Aladin.
