General:
A small, dim constellation lying between the southern border
of Ursa maioris (at the rear feet) and the northen border of Leo.
It forms a triangle and though there is nothing of interest for
people with small scopes the region contains some interesting
binaries.
R LMi is a long-period variable star, which brightness
ranges from 6th mag (so it can be seen by the naked eye) to 13.3
mag with a period of 372 days. It glows with a deep red colour
making it to a nice telescopic object (as long as the star is at
its maximum brightness).
