About Winnecke 4
Winnecke 4 is a double star consisting of two unrelated stars in the constellation Ursa Major. WNC 4 was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764 while he was searching for a nebula that had been reported in the area by Johannes Hevelius. Not seeing any nebulae, Messier catalogued this double star instead.
