Default Favorite constellation?

This is a tough question, I think of Scorpius as it snakes across the southern
sky, I do enjoy its beauty some much and then of course it ushers in the summer
Milky Way and all its pleasures. One of my favorite clusters is NGC6231, the
"table of Scorpius", multi-colored bright stars that glisten. I also enjoy
staring at M7 and M6 and the whole region is filled with interesting targets.


But then I think of Orion rising in the evening, horizontal as it shimmers its
way into the winter night sky, glorious, signalling the the arrival of the big
dog and its many joys...

Jon
