Back to: The principal star of Canis Minor is the bright Procion, visible at the center of the image. The second and last star of the constellation is Gomeisa, a little more at north-west of Procion. There are no relevant objects in this small constellation, that instead is surrounded by rich constellations. An example is the Monoceros with the Rosette nebula, visible at the right edge of the image.
