Smoothed it out.

I hope everyone likes it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68Kustom (talk • contribs) 02:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Absolute magnitude

Should be almost exactly the same as Mimosa, both around -3.5 - -4, and not 0. If it were 0, then it wouldn't be a prominent star. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.5.221.231 (talk) 13:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Halo

Some photos show Acrux embedded in an extended halo not mentioned here. Is this real or an artifact of the particular telescope or camera that was used?Virgil H. Soule (talk) 14:04, 18 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brightness of components

List of stars in Crux and this article text give Alpha A and Alpha B as 1.40 and 2.09, respectively. So what are the 1.33 and 1.75 magnitudes for them in the infobox? Someone forgot to change them while changing the other? 85.76.73.19 (talk) 04:38, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox cites a reference for the given magnitudes. As such it is "correct". The article text and the list need to change, unless an alternative reference can be found to support them. Disclosure: I'm the one who edited the infobox magnitudes, relatively recently. Prior to that there was no reference for the individual magnitudes.

The list mentioned has 7 source (books?) referenced, but none are quoted on the list. There are dates on which the sources have been used, but quite hard to know without page references. 85.76.73.19 (talk) 05:54, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
