Looking towards west at 9 p.m. in November 14 in the year 1870 (the date I earlier used for descending Leo) we would from Hanga Roa have been able to see Crater:
Alkes (α Crateris) is here not drawn as a star of Hydra. Above is Corvus and at bottom right is the end triangle of Leo, composed by Denebola (β), Zosma (δ), and Coxa (θ). Between Crater and the Leo triangle is the beginning of Virgo, with Alaraph as β.
The four great stars in Ursa Major are outside the picture to the right.
In the upper left corner we can see the Southern Cross and between it and Hydra is a part of Centaurus.
