Talk:Tucana

message: The first sentence of this section doesn't make sense. In previous versions the "galaxy" referred to was the Small Magellanic Cloud, which was mentioned just prior to it. VirtualDave 20:30, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Slip of the pen? 

message: "The constellations Tucana, Grus, Phoenix and Pavo are collectively known as the Southern Birds." By whom? Do you have a reference for this statement? 81.178.189.125 (talk) 14:12, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: All lead statements are repeated in the body of the text (where they are supported by a source) In this case, it is here. I remember this phrase from when I was a kid too. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:53, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually I meant to say "other than by Patrick Moore". This seems to be a Patrickism rather than a general term.81.178.188.115 (talk) 23:07, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, not sure - yes my book when I was about six years old was a book by him....will take an online snoop around. If no-one else then I will add that it is a Patrickism....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:35, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is Apus not included in this list? AstroLynx (talk) 14:10, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question - maybe due to doubts about its status and confusion with Apis "Bee" or maybe it's just too faint? (the others have at least some fairly bright stars....?) Not sure......Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:27, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Very likely a Patrickism. I had never heard the phrase until I saw it in Wikipedia, so I'd say it is non-standard usage. Skeptic2 (talk) 08:50, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Southern Birds? 

message: The end of the header says: most of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
However, the map shows it is wholly in Tucana, and SMC article says It is located in the constellation of Tucana. If there is a source saying Tucana does not contain all of SMC, I'd like to see it. 85.217.20.78 (talk) 04:12, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: NGC 602 is an outlying feature of the SMC that is actually in Hydrus. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:35, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Strange that this fact is not mentioned anywhere. It is mentioned as being one of "Objects within the Small Magellanic Cloud", but it is only told in the cluster article that it is in different constellation. 85.217.20.78 (talk) 14:29, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

text: What the map is showing is the brighter region of the SMG; the borders of galaxies are fuzzy and usually extend further outward than what you can readily see. Praemonitus (talk) 16:56, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
