	Beta Canum Venaticorum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Beta CVn is in the same field as alpha CVn: binoculars.
		Put beta at the southern edge of your field of view and you'll see Y CVn and (perhaps) M106: binoculars.
		Four degrees to the north-northeast of beta is Y CVn, called ‘La Superba’ because of its vivid shade of red.

		The brightest star is Beta Comae Berenicis with an apparent magnitude of 4.26 although Alpha, Diadem, has a magnitude of 4.32 and Gamma is 4.35 so all are quite similar.
		Cor Caroli is a double star that has a yellow primary and blue secondary star that are split by 20 arc seconds, the primary is of magnitude 3.2 and the secondary component is of magnitude 5.7 and is easily split and visible in even small telescopes.
		Beta Canum Venaticorum, Chara, is of magnitude 4.26 and also of note is Gamma Canum Venaticorum that lies approximately one third of the way from Chara towards Mizar or Zeta Ursae Majoris, this is visually one of the reddest stars in the night sky.

	IEX
		In 2268, on Beta Canum Venaticorum-4, IEX researchers, located in the city of Nauseville on the French Continent (where they were studying the Pentapods at the enclave), were contacted by French farmers and asked to help with the problem of the Beta Grain Blight which was destroying their crops.
		According to the Pentapods, the worm was a native of Beta Canum that had just recently developed a liking for terran crops.
		Beta Canum Venaticorum-4: On the major colony world of Beta Canum, scientists of the IEX are engaged in studies of the Pentapods and their bioengineering techniques.

		A furore has broken out in the popular music business after it was revealed that the popular "Synapsitic" composition, released here on Beta late last year to massive popular acclaim, was actually "composed and performed" by a Pentapod Bevelball synthetic pet ("Your malleable pal who's fun to throw at walls").
		Shares in "genes and biologicals" took a steep nosedive on Beta as news was released of a virus specific to some forms of the Pentapod product line.
		It is believed that this is a natural mutation to a few of the human tailored goods produced at the Pentapod enclave.

		Since the observation time was limited and I had a lot of objects I wanted to see I jumped past the famous Virgo-cluster and continued in the constellations the Hunting Dogs, or Canes Venatici.
		This constellation consists of the two bright stars, Alfa and Beta Canum Venaticorum.
		The brighter of the two was clearly mottled and I got the impression of seeing several spiral arms around its core at 96x.

	JIEX Juillet 2301 - Focus Group
		There is a small but vocal minority of people who hold that the Pentapods plan to use Humanity as genetic source material for their master plan, and that the trinkets they have given Humanity so far are either baubles designed to distract Humanity or insidious mind control devices.
		Pentapod Conspiracy Theorists treat the enclave on Beta Canum as their 'Area 51': the well-defended and mysterious heart of the alien conspiracy.
		The focus group is being held at the land facilities of the Pentapod enclave near Nauseville on the Western coast of the French Continent of Beta Canum Venaticorum 4.

	Challenge 33: Davout by Clay Johanson
		As France began its colonization efforts in the late 22nd century, French policy was undecided as to which direction through space French efforts should go.
		Initial outposts were formed on Bessieres and Augereau as French explorers moved toward Beta Canum Venaticorum.
		The effort was to be in one massive push, and logistics would be strained to the limit.

		Beta Canum has been the heart of the French Arm for nearly a century, and is at the centre of a web of trade routes and home to a world that is almost an Eden.
		BC-4 has been called the 'Breadbasket of the French Arm' for its agricultural productivity, has one of only two beanstalks to aid transport to and from orbit and the world has a valuable trade enclave of the alien Pentapods.
		Many are now questioning why political decisions taken decades of light years away should cause such upheavals on their previously peaceful world.

		Asterion or Beta Canum Venaticorum was colonised around the same time as nearby Beta Comae in the first half of the 22
		The support for Beta Comae’s stand against mega-corp and Terran influence was mixed amongst the Asterion community.
		Most didn’t want to have forces from Sol descend on their worlds (except the militias and more idealistic slum-gangs who would love a fight) but quietly disapproved of having a fair percentage of their GNP being used to pay back loans and tariffs.

	The Reference Deep Sky Object by Paul Markov
		With that in mind, choose objects that are close to a bright star or that are close to other bright deep sky objects, and preferably within the same field of view.
		Two examples are NGC 6207, a small galaxy just north of M13, and NGC 404, another small galaxy in the same field of view as Beta Andromedae.
		For an all-sky transparency evaluation, the reference objects should be in different parts of the sky, such as overhead, and in the eastern, southern, and western sky.

		Its principal star, alpha Canum Venaticorum, was denominated Cor Caroli ("Charles' heart", in Latin) by Sir Charles Scarborough, in honor of king Charles I of England.
		The constellation signalizes itself for the great number of galaxies that it contains, among which there is the famous Whirlpool Galaxy, M51, a spiral galaxy which is 18 million light-years away from us.
		The more southern dog is marked by the two brightest stars, alpha and beta Canum Venaticorum; the more northern one by a small group of little bright stars.

	Pentapod Spacecraft -- Parts 1 and 2
		Exchanges with Pentapods on Beta Canum have revealed that their homeworld has very few flying life forms which use wings for lift.
		Although the craft which visit Beta Canum must pass through other human systems before reaching the frontier of Pentapod space at DM+27 28217, they often pause long enough only to discharge the gravimetric build-up from their stutterwarp units before swinging around the star for recharging, and then quickly resuming their voyages.
		Those vessels which arrive at Beta Canum often stand in orbit for extended periods of time, and curious humans may approach them aboard travel pods operated for the convenience of tourists by the local port authority.

		Pentapods prefer to stay in their own enclaves but they do send trading missions to humans and have marketed quite a number of items of biotech, including a living biofilter mask and a cure for a grain blight which devastated agriculture on Beta Canum Venaticorum shortly before the Kafer War.
		The Ylii are approximately humanoid but their head is just a holder for their eyes and ears; the brain is located in the upper torso, as is the mouth.
		Material technology has advanced far enough to make the construction of beanstalks possible, and two have been built, one at Earth and one at Beta Canum Venaticorum (though the latter was disabled during the fighting with the Kafers.) A beanstalk is essentially an elevator cable running to a large satellite in geosynchronous orbit.

	Mark Wagner; More Backyard Astro-Card Fun
		I took out several Astro Cards, from sets 2 and 4, and began hunting first in Canes Venatici, which was up quite high and a bit north of zenith.
		I was having trouble picking out Chara (Beta Canum Venaticorum), it was just in-and-out at mag 4.25, so this was not the darkest of nights, although once past zenith to the north, the sky at my home brightens dramatically due to San Jose's light dome.
		Sitting about 1/4 the distance from Chara to Cor Caroli is mag 6.35 9 Canum Venaticorum, a nice yellow-white star a couple hundred light years distant.

		One they even explained away in a silly way was the colony at Beta Comae Berenices, which was intended to be called 'Nous Triumphe' by the French (they had terraformed the planet), but when they held the official ceremony one reporter mis-reported the name so it became called 'Nous Voila' instead, and it stuck.
		Sometimes I wonder about how much contact with reality the people who wrote the game had, but they are quite accurate when it comes to physics and weapons.
		On Beta Canum Venaticorum, for example, local life has mirrored amino acids.
