Canis Major (more specifically Sirius) has a declination of -17 degrees. That puts it 17 degrees below the celestial equator. It can be seen from most of the Earth, except for those above north latitude +73. 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.
