Abstract: The natural mapping of the right quaternion vector space $\H^2$ onto the quaternion projective line (identified with the four-sphere) can be defined for complex quaternions $\H\otimes_\R\C$ as well. We discuss its exceptional set, the fiber subspaces, and how the linear automorphism groups of two-dimensional quaternion vector spaces and modules induce groups of projective automorphisms of the image quadrics.
