But there is a stranger example ... Castor https://www.space.com/21940-castor-star.html
Indeed Wavy..

Castor is one that we only ever think of as a double..some like this are very interesting indeed and a sextuplet !.and yy Geminorum below Castor itself a double! So much more to this doubles caper.

"Fascinating"... as Spock would say.

That beast of a Maksutov of yours should make short work of most of them!
