DARK SKY - Carina & LMC in South  - Scanning stage  100mm lens. Polaris Australis (Sigma Octantis) is the current South Star, the nearest visible star to the south celestial pole. It is a yellow giant located 294 light-years away in the faint southern constellation Octans. Shining at magnitude 5.47, Polaris Australis is barely visible and not as useful in navigation as its northern counterpart. Polaris Australis lies in the constellation Octans, in a region of the sky that does not have any particularly bright stars or recognizable asterisms. The main constellation figure of Octans, a triangle formed by Nu, Beta and Delta Octantis, lies about halfway between the Southern Pointers – Alpha and Beta Centauri – and the bright Achernar in the constellation Eridanus.

Tasmania Aboriginals 

The most enduring art form left by Tasmanians are petroglyphs, or rock art. The most elaborate site is at Preminghana on the West Coast, although other significant sites exist at the Bluff in Devonport and at Greenes Creek. Smaller sites include the cupules at meenamatta Blue Tier and isolated circle motifs at Trial Harbor.
