What's your favorite constellation?
April 16, 2018 at 8:52 am
Mine is Scorpius. I love the brilliant red super giant at its heart and the many deep sky objects in and around it including the globular cluster M4.

I cannot say that I have a favorite, but I have heard mention of Cassiopeia in movies recently.

I'd say "The Little Dipper", but he's in the White House nor is he my favorite.

That open cluster is located in Taurus  Shy

That is Orion, the mighty hunter. He chases Taurus and is followed by his faithful companion, Canis Major, the big dog.

For deep sky objects, I prefer Ophiuchus. Lots of wonderful globular clusters there. Although, I have to admit that Auriga into Gemini is quite good with its open clusters.

For sheer beauty without a scope, I prefer Orion. It's sort of my anchor in the sky when it is visible. For summer skies, I like Sagittarius, seen as a teapot. It also has some nice deep sky objects.

Mine is Orion's belt. I never miss a chance to shout "that's Orion's belt!" when I see it.
