Abstract
We present Stromgren uvby photometric observations and a series of rad ial velocities obtained with the Coravel scanner for the 11th magnitud e star catalogued in the Guide Star Catalogue as GSC0114401023. This s tar was serendipitously identified on UV frames taken with the Very-Wi de-Field-Camera aboard Spacelab-1. Radial velocities show the star to be binary and we have determined accurate orbital elements. Photometri c data and orbital elements are consistent with the system being a pre viously-unrecognized eclipsing binary, with period = 33.8766 days and eccentricity = 0.262.
