A fairly prominent constellation of the southern sky in the shape of an inverted cross, below the bright Fomalhaut of the Piscis Austrinus. With a little imagination in the distribution of the stars, we can see a flying crane with its legs spread back, neck stretched out and head held high. Only the northernmost part is visible in our evening sky. For observers with smaller binoculars, apart from a few binaries, the constellation is poor in objects, although for instruments with binoculars with a lens diameter of around 200 mm it has some nice extragalactic objects. In the northeastern part of the constellation, north of the star θ Gruis, there is a small group of 10th to 11th magnitude galaxies, most of which are spiral galaxies: NGC 7410, 7424, 7552 and 7590.
