Other than Orion, Ursa Major (Big Dipper), Canis Major, and Cruz (Southern Cross), what's your favorite constellation?

Other than Orion, I suppose one of my favorites is Cassiopeia. This is simply because where I live, Andromeda isn't easy to see with the naked eye, but using one of the Andromeda constellation's stars and the W (looks more like a sigma to me, given my latitude) of Cassiopeia, I'm able to locate it with my binoculars :3

Draco's regal march, as he stretches sinuously across the sky.

I don't think I've really given much attention to Draco. In fact, I don't really know how to find it. I live in a Class 7 location, so there's too much light pollution (and humidity) to really make out too many constellations.

How disappointing. Is there no one you can drive out to the country with, once in a while. You may still not be able to see Draco, but there's nothing quite like a clear night sky in a sky not polluted by city lights.

Unfortunately not. HOWEVER. I am planning with my dad a trip to the Atacama this summer. :3
