Today i caught the first glimpse of Orion-the hunter (Mrig-Mandal); the most beautiful of the 88 constellations. It would be at a very comfortable viewing position at 3.30 tomorrow morning as it would have rose to some 50 degrees in the eastern horizon (not a comfortable time for sky gazing but a lot better for your neck which would not be comfortable watching the constellation overhead at about 5.30 am). The last quarter moon will be passing through the "gate way of heavens" between the constellations of Orion and Auriga. Pliedes will be very beautiful just overhead.
