If you are having trouble with the name of the double, you might be able to pin it down by coordinates or the magnitudes and separations of the components. If you click on the name (left column), it will give you a direct link to SIMBAD which lists all its identifiers.

Hi Rob,
That Eagle Creek website is an excellent resource, which I have referred to on and off over many years. Like most websites put together as a labour of love, it contains a couple of minor errors. One in fact is the SIMBAD link to HJ 3945. I haven't checked but I think they may have given a link to the secondary component, not the primary.
Here is the correct SIMBAD link
