Leo falls to the right-hand side of this
wide-angle photo, while western Virgo
lies at left. Leo's first magnitude star Regulus is toward the
lower right corner, but Virgo's bright star Spica
is off the picture to the left. To upper left is Vindemiatrix, below
it is Delta, and below Delta is Porrima. To the right of
Porrima lie Zaniah and then Zavijava, up and to the right of which is Nu.
Rho Leonis is immediately to the left of Regulus, while Omicron Leo
is down and to the right.
The autumnal equinox is
about half-way from the center to the lower left corner.
Above the classic figure of Leo is
Leo Minor. The lacy splatter
of Coma Berenices is near the upper edge.
