I like Orion a lot...but there's another one pretty cool: The Pleiades, the story behind it is awesome too (the 7 sisters). This constellation is awesome to observe with simple binoculars, check it out if you haven't I promise you will be amazed!

I don't have just one. Orion was the first one I was able to recognize, and when I got my first telescope, the first non-planet I looked at through it was M42, so from a nostalgic standpoint, I like Orion. A few summers back, I got on this "Globular Cluster Hunting Kick" and became fairly familiar with part of the sky I had ignored for quite sometime. This got me to appreciate constellations such as Ophiuchus, Hercules, Canes Venatici. Last summer, while trying to document visual magnitudes of variable stars (not an easy task form the suburbs), I enjoyed learning more about Perseus and Cetus. Perseus was even more exciting when I said to myself, "that smudge wasn't there last week," and, as I later realized, I was witnessing Comet Holmes, an object that very unexpectedly burst into naked eye visibility. I suppose, if I ever get a chance to explore the southern constellations, this list will grow even more.

I love Orion, too, though not just his belt. I, too, love the myth. For some reason, it draws my gaze every time I go out at night. I have to look up and find it before going to the car. During fall and winter, I open my bedroom window and, seated on my bed, elbows on the windowsill, chin resting in my hands, I stare into the heavens at Orion. I can't recall when I started doing this, at least 45+ years ago.
Actually, that's my all-time favorite although I can spot the Big Dipper easily. It's the first one my mom and dad showed me, and it's sort of comforting to know that you can find your direction from it~as long as it's night, of course.

I like Orion and Canis Major.
He faces Taurus with his dog backing him.
