Grrrr ... The mere mention of that name (Becrux -- and Garcrux too) though both are unfortunately really wide-spread is enough to make my blood boil! Beta Crucis actually has a "proper" name that is sadly too often forgotten or neglected. It is Mimosa. Everybody got it!
Now, repeat after me: Mim-o-sa. See, easy isn't it!

Les, you're right. I'll be more disciplined ... keep at me. Every time I look in the eyepiece now I mentally work out which way's north (from my "west only" sketch of Sirius a couple of weeks ago).
