Antlia is a small and inconspicuous southern hemisphere constellation without brighter stars. It lies south of the bend in the Hydra constellation, near the much more prominent constellations of Vela and Pyxis. In the evening sky, its northern part is visible in Central Europe from mid-April to June, low above the southern horizon. When observed through a telescope or a small refractor, there is nothing particularly striking or interesting in the Antlia constellation. Despite its proximity to the southern Milky Way, it lacks any star clusters or nebulae. There are only a few faint galaxies within it, none of which (except for NGC 2997) is brighter than magnitude 11.
