"The Easel"
Location: R.A. = 1h, Dec. = 50 S
History: This is a modern constellation, called Equuleus Pictoris, or the "Painter's Easel," although it recently has been shortened to just "Pictor." This constellation was first described by Abbe Nicholas Louis de Lacaille who charted the Southern Celestial Sphere between 1751 through 1753. Because it is a modern constellation, there is no classical mythology associated with it.
