The bottom star is Sirius and there are five others spread out over a wide expanse. If you can spot the three stars of Orion's belt, just to the left of Rigel, they are easy to find from there. Very beautiful and so bright in the winter sky.

The Winter Hexagon
I just learned about this on one of my boards, recently. The Winter Hexagon is made up of six very brilliant stars in the Winter sky. I actually saw it tonight as I was walking my dog, Cody.
