Canis Minor

Small constellation along the celestial equator (see celestial sphere), represented as the smaller of the two dogs of Orion (the other dog being Canis Major). Its brightest star is the first magnitude Procyon.

Procyon and Beta Canis Minoris form what the Arabs called ‘the Short Cubit’, in contrast to ‘the Long Cubit’ formed by Castor and Pollux (Alpha and Beta Geminorum).
