Constellations near the pole star include [[Chamaeleon]], [[Apus]] and Triangulum Australe (near Centaurus), [[Pavo (constellation)|Pavo]], [[Hydrus]], and [[Mensa (constellation)|Mensa]].

[[Sigma Octantis]] is the closest star approximating a southern pole star, but is faint in the night sky. Thus, the pole can be triangulated using the constellation Crux as well as the stars [[Alpha Centauri|Alpha]] and [[Beta Centauri]] (about 30° counterclockwise from Crux) of the constellation Centaurus (arching over Crux).<ref name=":0" />
