Sigma Octantis and Friends

Sigma Octantis, a star in the constellation Octans, is on the left of this starry expanse across the far southern skies. It is the southern hemisphere's faint counterpart to the North Star, Polaris, located just over one degree from the South Celestial Pole. Also known as Polaris Australis, Sigma Octantis is dimmer than fifth magnitude, about 25 times fainter than Polaris, making it difficult to see with the unaided eye.
