The GOAT (Capricorn)

The Goat (Capricorn) is one of the faintest constellations and very difficult to find.  It rises between the Archer (Sagittarius) on the right and the Water Carrier (Aquarius) on the left.  If not for the fact that it is part of the zodiac, few would pay any attention to it. To locate the Goat, first find the Archer, and look to the region to the left and slightly upwards. If you are lucky and have dark skies, you may be able to trace out the Goat with its horn, head, body, legs, and tail.  Good luck! Photo credit: John & Janet's (Amateur Astronomy)
