■ In twilight this evening, look west for the waxing crescent Moon. The Arrow points lower left, past the nose of Delphinus.

It's to Altair's upper left, just a little closer to Altair. The Milky Way (if you have deep darkness) runs across the Triangle just inside its bottom edge.Īs evening grows late and even Altair rises high, look left or lower left of Altair, by a bit more than a fist at arm's length, for the compact little constellation Delphinus, the Dolphin.ĭid you get it? Then try for even fainter, smaller Sagitta, the Arrow. Farther to Vega's lower right is Altair, with fainter Tarazed just above it. The brightest star to Vega's lower left is Deneb. Its top star is Vega, the brightest on that entire half of the sky.

■ On the eastern side of the sky, the Summer Triangle holds sway after dark.
