Very good gaz.

Now follow orions belt in a curved line SE to Sirius you hit a nearly
equalateral triangle of Stars.

This is part of what constellation?


It depends ...


If you curve SouthEastwards, then you will meet Beta Monoceros, which is the
bottom right star of an equilateral triangle. Alternatively you might
come to another equilateral triangle in Canis Major which consists of
Wessen, Adhara and Aludra.


How many stars in this triangle are listed in the Nautical Almanac?
Name them..



No Idea!!! Good question.


I like to see BB squirming in the effluent of his ignorance. Well done!
