Constellation Pipe (qentù.)
This is not a pipe but a constellation located to the south of the Lion. According to myth, it belongs to the Beaver. It includes the area of our constellation Sextans (the sextant) and also overlaps with Leo (the lion) and Hydra (the female water snake).

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.
