Ursa Minor.
It's small , but of significance as Kochab rotates anti-clockwise around Polaris , giving us the off set time for polar alignment. Under darker skies , it does appear as a mini plough.Here are some favourites,

Polaris, a wide binary at 18.4"
h 2682   A lovely triple at x150, quite wide and delicate. I did get the third element here.
Σ 1798, a very delicate companion at 7.3",Caught at x150.
5 UMa, a wide and very delicate companion picked out at x150.
Σ 1972 , lovely at low power with another double.
A very challenging Σ 2034 (SAO 2625), 1.1",caught at x216. Nick.IMG_5387.thumb.JPG.99052c67d1f59b738ceadc331abfa4f2.JPG
