Lynx, the Lynx, sprawls faintly between
Auriga-Gemini and
Ursa
Major, its brightest star Alpha Lyncis seen about three-quarters of
the way up the left-hand edge. The third star over to the right of Alpha
is 10 UMa, which is seen down and to the left of
Ursa Major's western-most "leap" (Talitha and Kappa UMa, toward upper left).
To the left of center is the only
named star, Alsciaukat (31 Lyncis). North is up and to the right.
Near bottom left are Castor and Pollux in Gemini. The bright star at
the lower right corner is Capella in Auriga.
