sorry, Orion does not contain Sirius, that is the alpha star of Canis Major chasing after Lupus the rabbit just below Orion.
I seem to recall being able to count all seven stars when i was much younger. i knew of a kid that was able to see the cresent of venus when it was...a cresent. those younger eyes are able to pick out things we old farts cannot.
also, the pleiades are in tarus.
