Southern Crux

Yesterday was a beautiful clear sky night with one new constellation visible - CRUX.
CRUX :
This constellation is also known as the Southern cross and is used for navigation purposes to mark the south direction.

It is in the shape of cross asterism and is formed by 5 stars - Acrux, Mimosa, Gacrux, Imai and Ginan.....it looks like a kite for me
