About Mirzam
From the front of the Big Dipper go straight to the two bright stars of Gemini. From there you can find the three stars of Orion's belt, you then follow Orion's belt back to Sirius.

Canis Major is the largest of Orion's two hunting dogs. He might be chasing Lepus, the Rabbit, who is in front of him. Or he could be ready to help Orion battle the great bull.
