SIMBAD is still giving me issues with finding stars from the old Struve catalogue, so I wonder if any of you can confirm that (a) the star can be found in the constellation Orion, and (b) the distance to said star in any case?
Update 1: I found a "Struve 1014", but apparently it's in Gemini, not Orion, per the Washington Double Star Catalogue.
Here's its SIMBAD profile, under the catalogue number "BD+26 1451A -- Star ". Apparently, there's yet to be a parallax determined for it, or the GAIA people have yet to input the update at this writing.
Update 2: Found a SIMBAD profile devoted to the whole double-star pairing. Still frustrating me on this search engine-map, though. Stella Doppie insists that it has a GAIA DR2 number, but the number looks, shall we say, incomplete?
