GRUS

A lovely stream of stars outlines Grus, the Crane, an outstanding modern constellation. Al Nair stands at the Crane's right-hand foot, while Beta Gruis stands at the left. The line-of-sight double up and to the right of Beta is Delta Gruis, Delta-1 on the top, Delta-2 on the bottom. First magnitude Fomalhaut, in Piscis Austrinus, is seen in the upper left-hand corner. Grus has a star with an orbiting planet.
