Favorite constellation?

Delphinus. The four stars that make up Job's Coffin just call to me
when they're in the sky. I find that I can just fit the entire
constellation in the field of view of my wide angle binoculars, which
is pretty cool (IMO).

Yeah! I like Sagitta too for the same reason. ;-)

Mine are Scorpius and Sagittarius. Had some fine views of both about
midnight tonight.

I remember when I was 14 and newly interested in astronomy. I had a star
map, and stayed up late every summer night learning the summer
constellations. I'll never forget the first time I saw Pegasus in the
eastern sky - I'd memorized it for weeks before I ever saw it.

I can see Pegasus rising in the east again as I type this. It took me back.
Summer just got here and the first harbinger of fall is already creeping
up. The years really do seem to go by faster as you get older. Maybe it's
because you know you are running out of them.

Orion rising in the fall and/or Ursa Major on the northern horizon.

My fave is Lyra. I just like the triangle and parallelogram. And i like =
Vega, and the doubles, and the Ring neb. I even like M56.

As an Aussie, I Gotta say Crux, heck, it's our national flag,
how can I not love it

Aside from that, Orion and Scorpius - Probably because its the
first two I learnt to spot (Aside from Crux). Even now, it's
the only two I can spot without trying. (I Know, I really need
to get out more sigh)

Orion, it's instantly recognisable to me, and there's quite a lot 'nearby'.

I like just about the entire sky though!
