The article says "The bright orange star is kappa Crucis" but it isn't. Kappa Crucis is one of the blue stars, as a check with a star catalogue will confirm. I think the original author should revise and correct this page. Skeptic2 20:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

My copy of SkyMap confirms the above, and also suggests that the surrounding stars are not blue either, judging by their B-V magnitudes, though they may appear so visually by contrast. The red star is DU Crucis, mag 7.44. Robin Scagell 15:53, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
