I remember it quite prominently all those years ago in a pair of 10x50's. A quaint little asterism. I was also shown "The Duck" which is a large psuedo-constellation formed by in the same area, but taking up 1/2 the sky. It is in the similar style as "The Emu" in the Milky Way. "The Duck" uses several constellations in the southern sky and, from memory, looked like a duck with outstretched wings. I will make an attempted to find it soon.
