2 Characteristics
A small constellation, Telescopium is bordered by
Sagittarius and Corona Australis to the north, Ara to
the west, Pavo to the south, and Indus to the east, cornering on Microscopium to the northeast. The threeletter abbreviation for the constellation, as adopted by
the International Astronomical Union in 1922, is 'Tel'.[8]
The ocial constellation boundaries, as set by Eugne
Delporte in 1930, are dened by a quadrilateral (illustrated in infobox). In the equatorial coordinate system,
Seen in the 1824 star chart set Uranias Mirror (in the lower right) the right ascension coordinates of these borders lie between 18h 09.1m and 20h 29.5m , while the declination

tem that varies between apparent magnitudes 7.09 and

9.08 over a period of just over 778 days (2 years 48
days).[34] The primary is a yellow supergiant that is itself
intrinsically variable.[35] Dipping from its baseline magnitude of 9.6 to 16.5,[36] RS Telescopii is a rare R Coronae Borealis variablean extremely hydrogen-decient
supergiant thought to have arisen as the result of the
merger of two white dwarfs; fewer than 100 have been
discovered as of 2012.[37] The dimming is thought to be
caused by carbon dust expelled by the star. As of 2012,
four dimmings have been observed.[37] PV Telescopii is a
class B-type (blue) extreme helium star that is the prototype of a class of variables known as PV Telescopii variables. First discovered in 1952, it was found to have a
very low level of hydrogen. One theory of its origin is
that it is the result of a merger between a helium- and a
carbon-oxygen white dwarf. If the combined mass does
not exceed the Chandrasekhar limit, the former will accrete onto the latter star and ignite to form a supergiant.
Later this will become an extreme helium star before
cooling to become a white dwarf.[38]

Within the constellations borders, there are 57

stars brighter than or equal to apparent magnitude
6.5.[lower-alpha 2][10] With a magnitude of 3.5, Alpha
Telescopii is the brightest star in the constellation. It is
a blue-white subgiant of spectral type B3IV which lies
around 250 light-years away.[12] It is radiating nearly
800 times the Suns luminosity, and is estimated to
be 5.20.4 times as massive and have 3.30.5 times
the Suns radius.[13] Close by Alpha Telescopii are the
two blue-white stars sharing the designation of Delta
Telescopii. Delta Telescopii is of spectral type B6IV
and apparent magnitude 4.9,[14] while Delta Telescopii
is of spectral type B3III and magnitude 5.1.[15] They
form an optical double,[16] as the stars are estimated to
be around 710 and 1190 light-years away respectively.[17]
The faint (magnitude 12.23) Gliese 754, a red dwarf of
spectral type M4.5V, is one of the nearest 100 stars to
Earth at 19.3 light-years distant.[18] Its eccentric orbit While RR Telescopii, also designated Nova Telescopii

Telescopii is a yellow giant with a spectral type G9III and
apparent magnitude of 5.18.[29] Around 1.87 billion years
old, this star of around 1.6 solar masses has swollen to
11 times the Suns diameter.[30] It is approximately 293
light-years from Earth, and is another optical double.[24]
Xi Telescopii is an irregular variable star that ranges between magnitudes 4.89 and 4.94.[31] Located 1079 lightyears distant, it is a red giant of spectral type M2III

planets, several have been found to have brown dwarf
companions. A member of the 12-million-year-old Beta
Pictoris moving group of stars that share a common
proper motion through space,[43] Eta Telescopii is a young
white main sequence star of magnitude 5.0 and spectral
type A0V.[44] It has a debris disk and brown dwarf companion of spectral type M7V or M8V that is between 20
and 50 times as massive as Jupiter.[43] The system is complex, as it has a common proper motion with (and is gravitationally bound to) the star HD 181327, which has its
own debris disk.[45] This latter star is a yellow-white main
sequence star of spectral type F6V of magnitude 7.0.[46]
PZ Telescopii is another young star with a debris disk and
substellar brown dwarf companion, though at 24 million
years of age appears too old to be part of the Beta Pictoris
moving group.[47] HD 191760 is a yellow subgianta star
that is cooling and expanding o the main sequenceof
spectral type G3IV/V. Estimated to be just over four billion years old, it is slightly (1.1 to 1.3 times) more massive
as the Sun, 2.69 times as luminous, and has around 1.62
times its radius. Using the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher (HARPS) instrument on the ESO 3.6
m Telescope, it was found to have a brown dwarf around
38 times as massive as Jupiter orbiting at an average distance of 1.35 AU with a period of 505 days. This is an
unusually close distance from the star, within a range that
has been termed the brown-dwarf desert.[48]

IC 4889 is an elliptical galaxy of apparent magnitude

11.3, which can be found 2 degrees north-north-west of
5.3-magnitude Nu Telescopii. Observing it through a 40
cm telescope will reveal its central region and halo.[50]
The Telescopium group is group of twelve galaxies spanning three degrees in the northeastern part of the constellation, lying around 37 megaparsecs (120 million lightyears) from our own galaxy.[23] The brightest member is
the elliptical galaxy NGC 6868,[51] and to the west lies
the spiral galaxy (or, perhaps, lenticular galaxy) NGC
6861.[23] These are the brightest members of two respective subgroups within the galaxy group, and are heading toward a merger in the future.[51] Occupying an area
of around 4' 2', NGC 6845 is an interacting system
of four galaxiestwo spiral and two lenticular galaxiesthat is estimated to be around 88 megaparsecs (287
million light-years) distant.[52] SN 2008da was a type II
supernova observed in one of the spiral galaxies, NGC
6845A, in June 2008.[53] SN 1998bw was a luminous supernova observed in the spiral arm of the galaxy ESO184G82 in April 1998, and is notable in that it is highly
likely to be the source of the gamma-ray burst GRB
980425.[lower-alpha 3] [54]

horizon to observers between 33N and 44N, stars within
a few degrees of the horizon are to all intents and purposes
