Triple Orbiting Planets (screenshot heavy)

While exploring the Galaxy I came across plenty of tidally locked twin planets, noting out of the ordinary but this system I spotted today gotten my attention to detour my intended route to visit there, camera in hand.

Getting my ship oriented and approaching the planets in question, working the camera to bring you some Pictures of the way they are orbiting each other.

Given the close proximity and the fading out of orbital lines at low speeds those were a little snap and go before the ship whizzed past the Planets.
After getting that documented, putting on the brakes, dropping out of Super Cruise to take a shot of the 3 marbles together rewarded me with this:

With that done and hoping to get some nice visuals, I approached the station and flew around it to get some nice angles to bring you those here.

and flying out a bit further allowed me to get all 3 planets in the frame

I hope you enjoy, this Galaxy of ours here does have some really nice jewels hidden in it.
 
I found a 5-star system this afternoon... with the main star and a star orbitting it, a Third star orbiting the first two, a Fourth Star orbiting the previous three, and a Fifth star orbiting all!!

And no.... it can't be catched in one single frame... distances are too far!
