Image cropped and rotated to orient Leo as viewed from Mid-Northern latitudes. (Leo is upside-down from my vantage).

Image Details:

Capturing the Lion before he hibernates for the Summer.
Leo used to have a tail with a nice tuft at the end until 1602, when Tycho Brahe and his buddies decided to make a new constellation out of it during a drinking session. They were sort of like the IAU of the 17th century. I'm not one to abide by conformity, so Leo will always have a tail in my book.
