Simulated star positions at 2.5 h LMT on 2 September 1859, as viewed from Santiago (S33° 28′, W70° 40′). This is shown using an all-sky view with its zenith at the centre and its geographic north at the top. The constellations are abbreviated as Eri (Eridanus), Car, Vel, Pup (Argo Navis), Gru (Grus), Sgr (Sagittarius), Aql (Aquila), Lyr (Lyra), Sge (Sagitta), Cen (Centaurus), Cru (Crucis), α Car (Canopus), SMC (the Small Magellan Cloud), and LMC (the Large Magellan Cloud). The two constellations of Sge and Lyr are outside the map limits, as they were below the horizon. The constellations are abbreviated as Eri (Eridanus), Gru (Grus), Sgr (Sagittarius), Aql (Aquila), Lyr (Lyra), Sge (Sagitta), Cen (Centaurus), and Cru (Crux). The Argo Navis constellation is now divided into the 3 constellations Car (Carina), Vel (Vela), and Pup (Puppis). Canopus is the brightest star in Car and it is denoted by α Car. The Large and Small Magellan Clouds are denoted by LMC and SMC, respectively
