A faint and small constellation of the southern sky, which is always hidden below the horizon in our latitudes. It lies to the south of Scorpio, Sagittarius and the Southern Crown, so it understandably does not stand out much in the sky. In the constellation we find a few faint galaxies, a globular cluster and a small planetary nebula. Curiously, the constellation today lacks γ Telescopii, which has become G Scorpii in spiky Scorpius, so that the current version of the celestial telescope is considerably shorter than N. L. Lacaille's idea.
