In any case, the 145 CMa
designation is somewhat valuable here, as it it easier to remember than
h3945 and tells you instantly what constellation it is in. snip


Thanks David -with the proviso that 145 CMa does not seem to come up
in commonly used software packages and beginners that should try the HR
or HD designates in their software search boxes:

145 CMa = HD56577 = HR2764
