Constellation Crane (xajRÌ.)
The Crane is a bird in the Southern Hemisphere, in the region of our constellations Columba (the dove) and Caelum (the chisel). It is, well, craning its long neck eastwards, and is unrelated to our constellation of the same name.

The 93 naked-eye stars
In the ‘Our designation’ column, letters (sometimes with superscript numbers) in front of constellation symbols refer to Bayer’s catalogue or to variable star designations, and numbers to Flamsteed’s catalogue. Row colours roughly approximate the stars’ colours. The links lead to the stars’ entries in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database.
