This seems unusual enough to mention. Last night I could see only two of the NOSS 2-3 triplets. The two I could see (leader and outlier, I believe, so 96-029D and C, 23862 and 23908, I think) were both +5 or brighter -- easy to see. I was using 8x42 binoculars from the driveway of my parents' house in San Antonio, Texas. The weather was fine. Even when they're quite faint, if I can see one of a trio I can see all three. So this was, for me, pretty unusual, especially since these three travel so closely together.
