A small constellation of the northern sky near the celestial equator, below Gemini and east of Orion, containing only two stars brighter than 5 magnitude: Procyon and Gomeisa. Although located on the edge of the winter Milky Way, Little Dog offers the observer only a few faint galaxies from deepsky objects, nothing for smaller telescopes. Even binaries are not well represented, but a few are interesting and attention-grabbing. Quasar 4C 05.34, which is one of the most distant objects in the sky at 3,000 Mpc, also lies in the constellation.
