V4381 Sagittarii
V4381 Sagittarii is a variable star in the constellation Sagittarius. A white supergiant of spectral type A2/A3Iab, it is an Alpha Cygni variable that varies between apparent photographic magnitudes 6.57 and 6.62. Its visual apparent magnitude is about 6.54. V4381 Sagittarii is associated with a small reflection and emission nebula, although it is not actually seen within the nebulosity. The nebula is catalogued as GN 18.05.6. It was first listed as VdB 113 and described as possibly associated with a loose open cluster. That name has since been used for the cluster itself, which is much more  distant than the distance of V4381 Sagittarii derived from its Hipparcos parallax. The whole cluster is less than a quarter of a degree across, with dozens of members from 8th magnitude downwards. V4381 Sagittarii is listed as a probable member, while the nearby bright stars HD 165516 and WR 111 are considered unlikely to be members. Distance estimations. The distance to V4381 remains poorly determined as of 2021. The 2018 research based on radio interferometry has measured 2.2 milliarcseconds parallax, while Gaia Early Data Release 3, based on optical astrometry, have resulted in measured parallax 0.6273.
