The Summer Triangle Asterism is a very easy star pattern to see. Asterisms are not true constellations, but other patterns within constellations or groups of stars that form a distinctive shape. Look for the 3 brightest points in the summer sky and connect the dots to make a triangle shape. This pattern can be seen in dark skies and even lightpolluted ones.
