The northern spring constellation Canes Venatici below the Big Dipper.

The majority of the northern spring constellation of Canes Venatici, the Hunting Dogs, below the handle of the Big Dipper. The southernmost area of CVn is missing here to frame the handle of the Dipper at top for context. At centre is the very red carbon star, Y CVn, aka La Superba. The bright star at bottom is Alpha Canum Venaticorum, or Cor Caroli, a bright double star. The galaxies M51 and M106 in CVn and M101 in UMa are just barely visible.
