The small and diminutive constellation of Delphinus is towards the middle left edge of this image

The image also shows the Summer Triangle comprised of the
stars Deneb in Cygnus (top), Altair in Aquila (lower left) and Vega in Lyra (mid right). The Keystone asterism of Hercules occupies the
lower right corner of the picture. A second version of the image with these constellations outlined in red is also provided
