The star R Doradus in the constellation Dorado

The image shows a chart with black dots in different sizes, representing stars, on a grey background. Green lines connect stars to indicate constellations. The Dorado constellation is in the middle, highlighted using a white background. Greek letters indicate its stars, a red circle is drawn around the R Doradus star. Thin horizontal and vertical lines show the coordinate system. Some other constellations are named too: Pictor, Reticulum, Hydrus, Mensa, Volans. Underneath the map is a legend with eight circles for the star’s magnitude, shown from most visible to least visible.

This chart shows the location of the nebula R Doradus in the southern-hemisphere constellation of Dorado (the Swordfish). This map shows most of the stars visible to the unaided eye under good conditions. The location of the star itself is marked with a red circle.
