I use “although the Grand Canyon looks very lovely several (other) smaller canyons are prettier” for the zodiacal constellations, but is there a mnemonic for the equatorial constellations?
I think the list goes, Pisces, Cetus, Eridanus, Taurus, Orion, Monoceros, Canis Minor, Hydra, Sextans, Leo, Virgo, Serpens, Ophiuchus, Aquila, & Aquarius.
