triple constellation, even in a smaller telescope, is a nice, wide pair of yellow 5.3mag and blue 9.8mag components that lie 31.4" apart. A third component of 7.9mag lies at a distance of 96". The binary 6 Lyn and two other wide pairs lie nearby. The one that lies one degree northeast of 5 Lyn is made up of an orange and blue component, the other is made up of two white components.
