There are many constellations, some are famous and made of easy-to-see stars but most are obscure, created to fill the gaps between older and grander stars. Some constellations may not exactly be afterthoughts but also are not show-stoppers. Delphinus. the dolphin, and Sagitta, the arrow, are like that. Both are small, their stars faint and nearly swallowed by the distant glow of the Milky Way. Spotting them can be a challenge but these jewel-like gatherings are worth the effort.
