CANIS MINOR

The main figure of Canis Minor, Orion's Smaller Dog, is made of just two stars, bright Procyon (Alpha CMi) just below the center, and Gomeisa (Beta) the next brighter star, up and to the right of Procyon. Gemini is off the top of the picture, Orion off to the right. Al Tarf of Cancer (Beta Cnc) glows at the far left edge. Procyon is at the northeast apex of the Winter Triangle.
