Carina

But it's a southern constellation, not many people up here would have
probably ever seen it... I haven't for example (although I have seen the
Southern Cross).

Bonus: What famous boat is named after this?

Carina, of course. IIRC a ~60' S&S designed ketch that won a lot of big
races in the '50s... very pretty boat, too. Somewhere amongst my books
of boat designs there is a chapter on her with lines plan & pictures...
too bad more of this kind of stuff isn't on the wwweb... yet
