SOUTHERN HYDRA WITH CORVUS AND CRATER

Corvus (the box to upper left) and Crater (center and up to the left) ride the back of southern Hydra, which sprawls across the lower half of the picture. Continuing east, Gamma Hydrae is to the east of southern Corvus, while the end of Hydra's tail (Pi Hya) is the west of southern Libra. Beta Hydrae, classical Hydra's southernmost star, is at the extreme lower edge near the far left. Clockwise from upper left, Corvus's stars are Algorab (Delta), Gienah (Gamma), Minkar (Epsilon), and Kraz (Beta). Eta is to the left of Algorab, while Alchiba (Alpha) is below Minkar. Alkes (Alpha Crateris) is just down and to the right of center, while Delta Crt is just above center.
