A small and faint constellation of the southern sky, situated about 35 degrees below the head of Hydra, between the Bulge and the Ship's Back. The brightest stars of the constellation Compass α (3.68mag), β (3.97mag) and γ Pyxidis (4.01mag) lie almost in a straight line. The constellation is poor for observers with a binocular or small telescope, but there are a few fainter open clusters, galaxies and planetary nebulae.
