After reading the description in Burnham's I tried to spot the white dwarf that is the brighter component of the fairly close pair (Omicron 2 Eridani B-C) that is in turn the distant companion of Omicron 2 Eridani A. Burnham's describes it as "the only white dwarf star which can honestly be called an easy object for the small telescope." I could certainly detect it as a dim companion of the primary star, but couldn't spot the C star.
