Microscopium
Microscopium is a small and faint southern constellation which is highest in the evening sky in the months around July.
It contains no stars brighter than magnitude 4.7, and since it is situated well away from the plane of the Milky Way, its only deep sky objects are faint galaxies.
The name ‘Microscopium’ is Latin for ‘microscope’, and was assigned to this sky area by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille in 1756. It is one of twelve created by him and one of several depicting scientific instruments.
In India Microscopium is called ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮದರ್ಶಿನಿ (Sookshmadarshini)
