Studying this region with binoculars, you'll find that there are several stars to the north and a single bright star to the southeast.
   North are lambda (a binary with a combined magnitude of 3.4), phi-1 and phi-2, both fourth-magnitude stars. Finally, to the southeast is 32 Orionis, a 5.5 visual magnitude. Thus you have a range of magnitudes, from 3.4 to 5.5, and just how well you can see these various stars with the naked eye gives you a good idea of the quality of your night skies.

To finish the names of the four corners of Orion, to the east is of course Betelgeuse (alpha Orionis) while down at the lower left, Orion's right foot, is Saiph ("Sword", kappa Orionis), another blue-white supergiant.

Bellatrix is a convenient starting point to find Aldebaran, the eye of the bull in the neighbouring constellation of Taurus.
   Using thumb and forefinger (very useful measuring devices!) find the apparent distance of Bellatrix to Rigel, Orion's foot to the south of Bellatrix. At the same apparent distance to the northwest of Bellatrix is found Aldebaran.

While you probably found the star without the assistance of your fingers, this is a useful way of remembering the relative distances of the principal stars from each other and so to get an appreciation of the relationship of each principal star to its closest neighbours.
