Where can you find information on the constelllation Corvus and the stars in the constellation?

I have listed several sites below--I hope they are most helpful to you. :-)



Corvus (Latin for Raven/Crow) is a small southern constellation with only 11 stars visible to the naked eye (brighter than magnitude 5.5). It was one of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy, and also counts among the 88 modern constellations.



Some stars and interesting objects in Corvus



a (alpha) Corvi or Al Chiba is a magnitude 4.0 white star 68 light years away.



b (beta) Corvi or Kraz is a magnitude 2.7 yellow giant star 290 light years away.



g (gamma) Corvi or Gienah is a magnitude 2.6 blue-white star 190 light years away.



d (delta) Corvi or Algorab is a wide double star 120 light years away. The brightest component visible to the unaided eye, is a magnitude 3.0 white star, that is accompanied by a magnitude 8.4 star often described as purplish in colour.



NGC 4038 and NGC 4039 are called the Antennae or Rat tailed or Ring-tailed galaxies. They are two galaxies in collision, and photographs show two tails of stars ejected from the interaction. The system is a strong radio transmitter. At magnitude 10.5 a reasonable telescope and dark skies are needed to see this. The rat tails are not visible in telescopes.



NGC 4782 and NGC 4783 are also two small elliptical galaxies in contact. The similar components with bright centres, appear in a field sprinkled thinly with faint stars. Photographs show diffuse material connecting the galaxies. At magnitude 11.7 a reasonable telescope and dark skies are needed for viewing these galaxies.



NGC 4361 is a planetary nebula with a visible central star. Only the central star can be seen in small telescopes, but larger telescopes will show the haze surrounding the star. An OIII filter effects a small improvement.



Just over the border of Corvus in the constellation Virgo lies the famous Sombrero galaxy, M 104. It is a spiral galaxy with a large nucleus and a dense lane of dust lying about 35 million light years away.Where can you find information on the constelllation Corvus and the stars in the constellation?wikipedia has infoWhere can you find information on the constelllation Corvus and the stars in the constellation?Burnham's Celestial Handbook, Vol. 1.
