Orion's Belt
The three stars within the Orion constellation. It is easy to find due to the three second magnitude stars being lined up together. It is depicted as the belt of Orion in the astronomical chart. The star on the right is called Mintaka, it is on almost on top of the celestial equator so it appears to be on the same orbital track as the both the days of the Spring equinox and the Autumnal Equinox.
