< A small constellation of the southern sky lying below Eridanus, an indistinct group of stars east of its brightest star, Achernar. In our latitudes, only their northernmost part rises about 1 degree above the southern horizon in late autumn and early winter. The clock has only one star brighter than fourth magnitude and could easily have been placed in any of its neighboring constellations. There are various faint galaxies, the most interesting object being the globular cluster NGC 1261.
