There must be an error here.
The stars metnioned are too far apart to be seen as a single star.
A practical limit for the brightness to combine -according to my
experience- is around 140" or less than 2'.
These stars are 40' apart!!!
Beta CMi can be easily seen alone.

My vision is corrected to 20/20. I understand what you are saying, but I looked several times and was not able to resolve the three stars. The sky was nearly photometric just after dark and got worse as it got later.
