Description

Sagitta is a dim but distinctive constellation in the northern sky. Its name is Latin for "arrow". Located between Beta and Gamma Sagittae is M71, a very loose globular cluster mistaken for quite some time for a dense open cluster.

Located a few degrees north, you can see the Dumbdell Nebula M27 which is a planetary nebula in the nearby constellation Vulpecula.
