[edit] Coordinates
The majority of websites say Luyten's Star is in Monoceros, while some, such as the one linked at the bottom, say Canis Minor, which appears to be correct. The coordinates listed in all major sources, which are 07h 27m 25s, +05° 13′ 33″, are clearly within Canis Minor in the Cambridge Star Atlas, on Wikipedia maps or other sources. These coordinates place the star almost due west of Procyon and due south of Beta Canis Minoris, forming a triangle clearly within Canis Minor. If the declination was actually -05° instead of +05° it would be in Monoceros, but all major references say +05°.
