Description

CR 399 is an asterism (stars forming a pattern) in the Vulpecula constellation, at varying distances from earth.

The shape it forms (often nicknamed Coathanger) is a fairly popular target for visual astronomy during the summer (northern hemisphere) or winter (southern hemisphere) months. As with many asterisms, the individual stars are nowhere near eachother but are instead just a chance alignment from our vantage point here on earth.
