Page "Delphinus" Paragraph 2

Delphinus does not have any bright stars ; its brightest star is of magnitude 3. 6.

The main asterism in Delphinus is Job's Coffin, formed from the four brightest stars: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta Delphini.

Alpha and Beta Delphini are named Sualocin and Rotanev, respectively.

When read backwards, they read as Nicolaus Venator, the Latinized name of Palermo Observatory's former director, Niccolò Cacciatore.

However, Delphinus is in a rich Milky Way star field.
