Constellation Runner (nenÌ.)
This man, to be found just east of the Poodle, is running westwards around the sky, perpetually following the Tortoise (more or less). The constellation roughly corresponds to our Pyxis (the mariner’s compass) and Antlia (the air pump), and also overlaps with parts of Puppis (the poop deck) and Hydra (the female water snake).

The 127 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.
