The word "telescopium" was coined from Greek roots but was the original word ever only used in Greek before it spread to other languages or was it coined from Greek words but used in Latin, the then language of scholarship, from the first. That would make it a Latin word not a Greek word. 467: 572: 1231:
With Delta Telescopii, if you're saying "However, the uncertainties in their distances just overlap", then it would be better to give the distances and their uncertainties, along with the probability that they are co-located. I would be rather surprised if it wasn't possible to tell if they were a

I'm reading through it. One thing that jumped out at me is the note - "stars within a few degrees of the horizon are to all intents and purposes unobservable" - 11 degrees is quite a substantial portion which are implied not visible, should a quantifier regarding latitudes further north be added?

As a comparison, the word telephone also is derived from the Greek words but was first invented by a Frenchman for a different sort of instrument in 1828. I have seen it described as from the French word "1835, "system for conveying words over distance by musical notes" (devised in 1828 by French

composer Jean-François Sudré (1787-1862); each tone played over several octaves represented a letter of the alphabet), from French téléphone". Telegraph is also said to come from the French word for the semaphore type system invented in the late 18th century, even though it too has Greek roots.

I have had a tough time looking for sources discussing this aspect much on many stars/constellations - I guess most of us are city-dwellers with buildings and trees and crap significantly obfuscating the horizon, let alone extinction (and telescopium is pretty faint). If I can see anything else
926:"common proper motion with (and is hence gravitationally bound to)" - from my own knowledge, and having examined the source, I'm not sure the "hence" should be there - objects can share common proper motion without being part of the same system). 1621: 1611: 153: 1646: 828:"allowing the margin of error in their distances just overlaps," is confusing, if I am understanding it right would something like "however, the uncertainty in their distances overlap, so blah blah" work? 715:
Images - the two that are currently there are nice and also appropriately licensed - it might be nice to have one or two in the stars and deep sky objects sections, which are currently looking a bit bare.
401: 1606: 310: 204: 538: 440: 1636: 987:"result of a merger between a helium- and carbon-oxygen white dwarf" - this plural, or not, is I think potentially confusing. Would it be correct to have an "a" before the word carbon? 1191: 229: 1666: 1651: 519: 610: 147: 600: 329: 1187: 291: 79: 1631: 577: 1661: 509: 346: 1671: 1641: 748:

Interesting question - "telescope" is described as coming from the Greek words - words like this are often described as Latinised Greek.
754:"astronomer and student of the southern skies" - is this usage of the word "student" correct? Would "observer" or documentor work better? 1413: 44: 605: 480: 435: 99: 582: 104: 20: 1343:
For some reason, the article's appearing as a FA rather than a GA in the interlanguage links. I'm not sure why that's happening...

I added 'a' - I think it's ok without it but have been pinged by folks before for leaving out too many words like this

It would be good to add more pictures to the article. Surely there is NASA imagery of the NGC objects at least.
387: 189: 1297:
am a bit lost about what you mean by the "distance between the closest and furthest star in the constellation"

update - Van Leeuwen pretty much indicates they are an optical double - the distances don't overlap...
