I managed to spot a NOSS triplet last night!
It was the NOSS 7 triplet, about magnitude 8, just visible in my 8x56 bioculars here in Sydney. Unfortunately I could only see 2 of the 3 satellites in the bunch.
These satellites aren't close enough to each other to see them all in one field of view, but rather you can pan around and see them.
If you want to try it yourself, the satellite numbers on Heavens-Above are 16623, 16624, and 16631 for this triplet.

Cheers,
Jason.
