PIX4593306: Constellations of the Little Horse, Dauphin, Fleche and Petite Fox - Constellation of Equuleus and Vulpecula - At the top right, the constellation of the Little Fox, below, the Fleche, on the left, the Dolphin; at the bottom left, the Little Horse. Equuleus (the Little Horse or colt) is a small and undistinguished constellation located about 10 degrees north of the celestial equator. It is the second smallest constellation in the sky: only Crux is smaller. It contains no bright stars, so, unlike Crux, it is difficult to find, though Delphinus is a useful guide. There is little of astronomical interest here that is accessible to small telescopes. Vulpecula, the Fox, first appears in Johannes Hevelius' atlas of 1690 and was originally called Vulpecula Cum Anser, the fox with goose, but the bird has flown and the fox is hardly obvious. The constellation crosses part of the northern Milky Way and lies just south of Cygnus. The main stars of Sagitta are also well seen here / Bridgeman Images

Leo Minor is due north of the distinctive sickle shape in Leo, and south of the hind leg of Ursa Major, 'The Great Bear' / Bridgeman Images
