FIN 74 Finsen and van den Bos both noted 4 possible components on multiple Fin1928b
nights. Their note: "The existence of the components A, B, and C was B__1928c
at this stage regarded as certain, while D was strongly suspected. The
interpretation of the earlier measures of duplicity presents some
difficulties. It is possible that the nova was simply double at that
time and that the triple or quadruple chacter developed later. An
alternate explanation is that the observers were able to see more
detail as they grew more accustomed to the densely nebulous region."
A steady increase in the AB and AC distances were noted between 1928 B__1931a
and 1931. Fin1931
Markedly nebulous in 1932; B and C well outside it but very faint. In
1933 nebulous character of A almost unnoticeable; B very faint but
still measurable; C almost a glimpse objects and measures hardly
better than a guess. B__1933d
Nova Pictoris, RR Pic. Observations of the ejecta similar to those
made by Kuiper for Nova Herculis (1934). Kui1935b
Not a double star.
