Sigma Orionis is an interesting multiple binary, some of whose components can be enjoyed with binoculars.
Starting at zeta Orionis, in the same field of view to the southwest is sigma Orionis (3.7 combined visual magnitude): binoculars. Sigma is a multiple binary with one very close companion and two wider ones. While a small telecope would be of better use to fully enjoy the spectacle, its brightest companion should be visible in binoculars.
