The graceful half-circlet of Corona Australis lies to the south of
the Little Milk Dipper of Sagittarius.
Alphecca Australis, the central (and Alpha) star of the trio at the
upper left of the curve, vies with the Beta star (the lower of the
three) for brightest. Gamma is at the top of the curve, while Delta resides
below Beta. Epsilon is the middle star of the small trio to the lower
right of Gamma.
The bright star at far upper right is Kaus Australis
in Sagittarius. Alpha Sagittarii lies toward upper left,
while Beta-1 and Beta-2 Sagittarii make the double toward the lower left
edge.
