The A and B components of 142 G. Scorpii (or Gliese 667) are not distinguishable in this image (the apparent doubling of the central star in orange and blue reflects its proper motion, rather than two separate component stars of the system). The C star, in a more distant orbit around the AB binary pair, can be seen very close to the marked star, to the southeast (lower left). Imagery provided by Aladin sky atlas
