 MONOCEROS (mo-nos'-e-ros)—THE UNICORN. (Face South.)

—Monoceros is to be found east of ../Orion/ between ../Canis Major/ and ../Canis Minor/. Three of its stars of the fourth magnitude form a straight line northeast and southwest, about 9 degrees east of Betelgeuze, and about the same distance south of Alhena, in ../Gemini/.

The region around the stars (8), (13), (17) is particularly rich when viewed with binoculars. The clusters (50 M) and (2) are well worth observing. 108
