A very beautiful multiple star, even for a small telescope! A low magnification will reveal a stunning wide triple star with a white primary component of magnitude 5.8 and two orange companions forming a right-angled triangle. In the same field of view, a companion of magnitude 9.5 and the double star π Canis Majoris are observed.
