I've loked and can't find too many sites that agree on specifics on the star. Some say it's a true binary other say it's an optical double or that we're not sure.

Perhaps I copied that wrong, I should have kept a list of sources. I do have 34" listed as separation. It is difficult to find all info from one source.
Kind of what I thought as well, 34 AU would be pretty close for a double in fact could we split them at only 34 AU? Perhaps it's 34 arc seconds not AU.
