Abstract
I know that the winter sky is dominated by bright, easy to see, constellations. Please don’t get so drawn to them that you don’t spend some time observing in parts of the sky nearby Orion, Gemini, Canis Major, and Taurus. I promise that even though Monoceros, Puppis, and Pyxis are not as flashy as their companions, there is plenty to see in those parts of the sky. Also, during this part of the year our friends in the southern hemisphere are viewing the Magellanic Clouds for many hours until they drop from exhaustion and then start to prepare another observing list for tomorrow night!
