I have removed the second sentence as it is subjective...actually they both are. "bright" in this case I suspect means anything of magnitude 3 and brighter, which is a very small minority of visible stars. The south celestial pole region is otherwise populated by very faint

might be worth it: "And beneath the effulgent Antarctic skies I have boarded the Argo-Navis, and joined the chase against the starry Cetus far beyond the utmost stretch of Hydrus and the Flying Fish." (

Given Hydrus' far southern location and invisibility to most of the Northern Hemisphere, I can't believe this...and it appears to be the only source for the claim (i.e. not cited in other texts)
1455: 786:"It is also closest bright star to the south celestial pole." how is a bright star defined? The paragraph starts out by saying that "Hydrus does not contain any particularly bright stars." 484:"Keyzer and de Houtman assigned 15 stars to the constellation in their Malay and Madagascan vocabulary" I don't understand the significance of the Malay and Malagasy vocabs 1355:"However, the coordinate Dreyer observed is no longer there" Is this the correct way to say this? The coordinate is still there, but the once-observed object no longer is… 1655:
final nitpicks: the number of authors appearing before et al. should be standardized; compare the different formats in Brandão (2011), Setiawan (2005) and Mayor (2011)
583:"Of these, he labelled two stars close together Eta, Pi and Tau and omitted Omicron and Xi."" confusing … Pi and Tau were the two stars labelled as close to Eta? 451:"Lacaille had shortened its tail to make space for this last constellation." whose tail? In what way was he making space? So that it would fit on the star chart? 80: 1466:
that page is not visible to my location, but sounds like a good thing to add. I can either try by proxy or hope that some US-based person adds it...
922:"Pi Hydri, composed of Pi1 Hydri and Pi2 Hydri, is divisible in binoculars." does this mean that they can be viewed independently in binocs? 70: 1379: 1346: 1276: 1243: 1210: 1177: 1144: 1111: 1012: 979: 946: 910: 811: 744: 710: 677: 574: 541: 508: 475: 442: 409: 375: 342: 276: 47: 1682: 1646: 1609: 1569: 1482: 1445: 1412: 1313: 1078: 1045: 877: 844: 777: 644: 611: 309: 242: 1458:
source on crisis survival, one can use the position of B hydrus as an accurate navigational reference to find geographic south
1728: 1518: 1496: 52: 820:"magnitude 2.9, 71 light-years" the numbers so closely aligned could be confusion, maybe insert "located" after the comma 165:
I usually review these at FAC anyways, so might as well get my nitpicks out of the way. Comments in a couple of days.

no real point linking that anywhere as it is unclear which snake it'd be anyway, hence delinked
