Caption: Figure 3.

A zoomed-in view of the target, BD+05 4868 A, and its fainter binary companion, BD+05 4868 B, located 3﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x02033}}﹩0 to the northeast. This image is taken from one of the rp-band frames obtained with the LCOGT 2.0 m/MuSCAT3 on the night of UT 2024 October 17. It shows that the two binary components were resolved in this observation. Figure 4 shows the light curves extracted from the MuSCAT3 data obtained that night.
