The constellation of Crater, the goblet, is lying just above the Hydra like the Corvus in previous page.
The constellation has stars fainter than 4th magnitude; it may be fairy difficult to appreciate it under light-polluted night sky.
But the Crater has been established in ancient time, so the constellation has clear shape.
You can easily trace a magnificent goblet with a grip and a pedestal from several stars.
This Crater is the goblet of Appolo according to the Greek myth. |
