The Constellation of  Orion, the Hunter.  For those of you who don’t know much Astronomy, the three stars in a line just to the left of center are his belt.  The bright red star straight up form that is the top of his head, and the bright star to the right and half way back down to the belt is the tip of his arrow in his bow.  Directly below the belt is a vertical row of stars (easier seen if you click on the photo to enlarge it) that makes up his belt.  The two or three stars across the bottom are his feet.  The bright star in the lower left corner is…a bright star in the lower left corner.  It is named Sirius, like the satellite radio, and is in the Canis Major constellation.
