Description:
At ~4½° N of Adhara (Epsilon CMa). Beautiful open cluster which does not present nebulosity in the background, as observed with M41. It is a unspecified star regrouping. I separate 13 stars individually: 1 very brilliant, of color orange, 2 brilliant stars, 4 of average brightness and 3-4 of low brightness. The brilliant orange star is, in fact, omicron1 CMa. Cr 121 does not show particular concentration.
