A small faint equatorial constellation between Leo and Hydra. The sextant is very faint, with only two stars brighter than 5 mag. Good thing there are brighter constellations nearby. The Sextant lies roughly in a triangle whose vertices are formed by the bright stars Alfard, Denebola and Regulus. The constellation is located in a rich region of galaxies, and despite its relatively small size, contains a larger number of them. The most beautiful of these is the remarkably elongated NGC 3115.
