The constellation of Orion and its brightest stars, Procyon and Sirius

The constellation of Orion the Hunter, at right, and his two Hunting Dogs and their brightest stars: Procyon in Canis Minor (at left) and Sirius in Canis Major (at bottom).. The winter Milky Way runs from top to bottom through Monoceros and Canis Major.. The red arc is Barnards Loop, an interstellar bubble blown by hot stellar winds from young stars in the Orion complex. The red patch at upper centre is the Rosette Nebula in Monoceros. The Orion Nebula is overexposed right of centre.
