Sagitta and Vulpecula constellation


Sagitta and Vulpecula constellation :

Sagitta (the Arrow) and Vulpecula(the fox) possess between them no bright star but the asterisms formed by their main stars are easily recognisable close to the richest part of the northern Milky Way in Cygnus.
Some of the constellations are not necessarily known for their asterisms but they are noted and catalogued for the Messier objects and Deep sky objects they map in the night sky.

The messier catalogue consists of a diverse range of astronomical objects, from star clusters and nebulae to galaxies. For example, Messier 1 is a supernova remnant, known as the Crab Nebula, and the great spiral Andromeda Galaxy is M31.

While I look at the professional astrophotography pictures that are available online, i will be so amused by the different constellations captured in a single shot.....I tried capturing the same with Cygnus, lyra, draco, sagitta ,vulcepula and partial hercules too. (spanning from the north eastern to the northern sky)

Ursa minor has the pole star and is generally not easily visible. But I get to see its stars Kochab and Pherkad in the northern sky for the past 2-3 days.

Jupiter and Saturn are easily visible in the eastern sky around 9 pm provided you do not have any big building near by, my neighbor, a college kid has this huge structure blocking her view to the east sky and has to wait till 12 am or 1 am to see it.
