Canis Major (more specifically Sirius) has a declination of -17 degrees. That puts it 17 degrees below the celestial equator.

It is the brightest star in the night sky, second only to the Sun, except that the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter are brighter. It has a right ascension of 6 hours and 45 minutes sidereal time, which puts it nearly 7 hours east of the first point of Aries.I'm sorry, but I do not know how to translate that to the best time of year. I have submitted this to the category supervisor for refinement. Anyone else, of course, that has the remainder of the answer is welcome to make that refinement.
