e Sagittarii


Epsilon Sagittarii ‘Kaus Australis’, The Southern Part of the Bow, marks the end of the bow as held by the Archer.

This 1.8 magnitude star is the brightest in the constellation, and is found between the Scorpion's stinger and the crown in Corona Australis, and about five degrees further to the north.

If you are starting from the trapezoid (zeta Sgr) then move to the southwest two binocular fields of view binoculars.

Now move slightly to the north; delta comes into view. This is the middle part of the archer's bow. Gamma, to the west, is the arrow head: binoculars.
