A small, relatively prominent constellation in the southern sky, but not observable in our latitudes. The bright stars form a diamond pattern between Dove and Swordfish, close to the Great Magellanic Cloud, halfway between the bright stars Achernar and Canopus. All the brighter stars of the constellation, except α reticulata, which is yellow, are orange in colour, giving this small constellation a rather striking appearance in the triad. Otherwise, there are no interesting deep-sky objects.
