Description

This publication is a reprise of the image photographed from the southern hemisphere and published here: http://astrob.in/314931/0/

Two main modifications were made: First I incorporated the illustration of a dolphin in watermark, then I turned the image 180 °, in order to see the dolphin "in the place".

I form the project to illustrate all the constellations that I will photograph in order to complete my images classified by Constellations http://www.astrobin.com/users/RayCaro/collections/

I do not know if I'll get to the end ...

----------

Delphinus is a weak constellation, but its shape is very characteristic and so I was able to observe it and to frame it, without any assistance of electronic research and pointing.

Sualocin and Rotanev are respectively the stars α (Alpha) and β (Beta) Delphini (β being the brightest). Their origin comes from Nicolaus Venator written upside down, the Latinized name of Niccolo Cacciatore, assistant director of the Palermo Observatory, responsible for the publication of the catalog of stars.

Associated with γ (Gamma) and δ (Delta) Delphini, α and β form a diamond, an asterism, called the "Job's Coffin".

Deneb Dulfim (ε Delphini) is of Arabic origin and means the tail of the Dolphin. This star is located right at the end of the constellation.

Other remarkable objects are annotated by astrometry.

----------

Le Dauphin est une constellation faible, mais sa forme est très caractéristique et c'est ainsi que j'ai pu la remarquer et la cadrer, sans aucune assistance de recherche et de pointage électronique.

Sualocin et Rotanev sont respectivement les étoiles α (Alpha) et β (Beta) Delphini (β étant la plus brillante). Leur origine vient de Nicolaus Venator écrit à l'envers, le nom latinisé de Niccolo Cacciatore, l'assistant directeur de l'observatoire de Palerme, responsable de la publication du catalogue d'étoiles.

Associées à γ (Gamma) et δ (Delta) Delphini, α and β forment un losange, un astérisme, appelé le "Cercueil de Job".

Deneb Dulfim (ε Delphini) est d'origine arabe et signifie la queue du Dauphin. Cette étoile est située justement au bout de la constellation.

D'autres objets remarquables sont annotés par l'astrométrie.
