This constellation "has an overall brightness of 16.446" ... 16.446 what? I tried to find the units in the wikipedia article on stars, then did a google search but couldn't find anything. If you know the answer please fix it...

It probably has something to do with amount of radiation received from the stars in the constellation, divided by its surface angle: which says more about the constellation's small area, than about the brightness of the stars in it. I will remove the statement as it is misleading.

[edit] Contradiction

Look at the info boxes at the end. As Ptolemy had already listed both Sgr and CrA, how could Bayer have split Sgr to make CrA? B00P 05:47, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Very good eyes of thine, B00P!! We'll deal with such problems in Astronomy/Constellations Task Force. Bayer didn't split Sgr to make CrA. Bayer did not change the sky at all, Sgr and CrA were separate all the time, and most other constellations allegedly split by Bayer, were in fact split by Tycho Brahe or Petrus Plancius.
