Geocache Description:

One of a constellation of caches inspired by Orion. Each cache contains a clue which you will need to complete the series. Begin with [alpha Ori] Betelgeuse (GC24MT8).

Alnitak is the easternmost star in Orion's Belt. It is a triple star some 800 light years distant, with the primary star being a hot blue supergiant and the brightest class O star in the night sky.

From the cache descriptions for the first four stars in this series, you should be able to work out where to start looking for this cache. Then use the clues below to track it down. Note: the published coordinates are not close to the cache, and are connected to it by merely the weakest of puns.

Look for where the {alpha 3} turns north. Head {beta 3} then {gamma 3}. After {kappa 3} m, find number 1.

You are looking for a magnetic nano. Make a note of clue {zeta} inside the nano. Please bring a pen to complete the log.

Parking is available in nearby streets. Please be considerate to residents when parking.
