Re: Carol's Smiley Face? Auriga Asterism

Apparently there's already a "smiley face" asterism in the constellation of Cygnus. It's known as Vultus Irrisorie, or literally The Face with a Smile.
I came across it in on a list of little-known objects, some of which were quite familiar to me, and observed it with my 15x70s and Orion ShortTube 80, while I was at the Black Forest Star Party last week. I also had a look at Carol's asterim.

Hey Dave, How about some info on the location, size, etc. of the "Smiley Face". I love to look at asterism's. I enjoy them as a diversion at times.
Clear skies, Buddy
