η Lupi

Eta Lupi is on the extreme eastern edge of the constellation, bordering Scorpius.

If you centre gamma Lupi then move a bit over one binocular field northeast you'll find both eta and theta Lupi

Eta is a young dwarf, and an interesting triple star system (Rmk 21):
      AB (bluish-white and light blue): 3.4, 7.5; 19º, 14.9". The orbital period is in the range of 26,000 years.
      AC (blue): 3.4, 9.4; 248º, 115.8". (Probably only optical)
