40 Eridani - a great triple!

This is 40 Eridani is probably my favorite multiple system, and the only one I can think in which a yellow dwarf, a white dwarf and a red dwarf can be observed together in a smallish scope.
An interesting bit of Science Fiction trivia: It has been decided and generally accepted that in the Star Trek Universe 40 Eridani is where Spock's home planet of Vulcan is located.
