Chamaeleon, the Chamaeleon, seen rising, lies not far from the South
Celestial Pole. Alpha Chamaeleontis is the brighter
of the pair of stars toward upper right center.
Carina is at the upper left corner, while Musca is at
lower left. The bright star to the lower right is Delta
Octantis, of Octans, the Octant, which hold the southern
pole itself.
