A small and faint constellation of the northern sky that fills the space between the crescent of Leo to the south, Lynx to the west, and the hind legs of the Great Bear to the north and east. It is a faint, filler constellation with only seven stars brighter than 5mag. Only one star bears Bayer's designation - β Leo Minor, the others are designated by Flamsteed numbers. Apart from a few faint galaxies, the constellation contains no objects of interest. A few of them, mostly of 11th magnitude, can be seen in 200-250 mm binoculars as tiny nebulous clouds.
