Someone recently asked me if I have any favorite constellations.

I like Sagittarius and Scorpius.  I like how both move in the sky and sort of rotate.  The Milky Way runs right through them so those areas are very rich in objects.  I guess I don’t really have a favorite, but I have some favorites.  I really like Orion.  I love the Pleiades, even though it isn’t a constellation and my vision isn’t good enough to resolve any stars in it.  But you might be surprised which constellation I like the most if I have to choose… Delphinus.

Of the stars I like, it would be Antares, Vega, Zubenelgenubi and Zubeneschemali.

Ophiuchus, Microscopium, and Gemini annoy me.

I love Cassiopeia, because it has some nice deep sky objects and is visible all night long, as well as Cygnus and Saggitarius, because they are in the Milky Way and *full* of objects. Both are pretty recognizable, even under light-polluted skies!
