Serpens Constellation

80 degrees east sky while capturing this constllation, you can see arcturus/swathi on top and the bootes constellation pointing towards down left. Just below that, corona borealis can be seen too. I have captured one half of the serpent constellation - Serpens Caput.

The constellation of Serpens is unique – being the only one to be divided into two parts. Serpens Caput represents the western half. Serpens was one of the 48 constellations listed. Serpens Caput is bordered by the constellations of Hercules, Corona Borealis, Virgo, Libra, Bootes and separated from its counterpart by Ophiuchus. It can either be referred to as simply “Serpens” or by its western half (Caput – the “Snake’s Head”) or its eastern half (Cauda – the “Snake’s Tail”). Alpha Serpentis goes by the proper name Unukalhai, meaning loosely the “heart of the serpent”.
