 Weasner's Meade ETX Site
To its north and east is the larger (but still small) constellation of VULPECULA (pronounced: vul-PECK-u-la) which, for whatever unknown reason, represents the cunning and ever-so-elusive Fox who prowls throughout the land and sky throughout the dark of night.
The star 2 Vulpeculae is a relatively bright magnitude 5.4, while its optical companion (not a true double) is a relative faint 9.5, therefore making it a challenge NOT ONLY for the ETX 90, but perhaps the ETX 125 as well.
R Vulpecula is a spectacular "short" long period variable star of only 136.82 days, ranging from a relatively bright 7.4 magnitude to 13.4, still easily visible in the ETX 125 on a very dark night; therefore the entire cycle of this wonderful star can be observed in about four months time!
