Vulpecula (abbr. Vul, gen. Vulpeculae)
The Fox; a faint northern constellation
that lies north of Sagitta and Delphinus
and south of Cygnus. Although its chief star,
Alpha Vul, is no brighter than magnitude 4.4, Vulpecula is home to some
interesting deep sky objects including the Dumbbell
Nebula and the Coathanger open cluster.
