The coordinates and B V magnitudes of BD +42 3333 are wrong.
This mistake is also present in the Vizier database.
The true coordinates at J2000 are: 19 24 41.70 +42 37 13.9
and the star coincides with Tyc 3142-974-1 which has
magnitudes and colors V= 9.93 (B-V)=1.047
The wrong coordinates (19 25 52.2 +42 41 40) and magnitudes
(V=12.12; B=12.69) reported in SIMBAD are not far (15")
from those of another object very distant from BD +42 3333:
2MASS J19255257+4241550 (B=12.720; V=12.13 in the NOMAD catalog)
