"Equuleus" must mean hangman in some language or other, because it sure isn't a little horse. I mean, I realize constellations are sort of fanciful to begin with -- like calling a line segment a little dog -- but just call the silly thing "gamma" and be done with it.

The brightest star in Equuleus, Kitalpha, checks at an underwhelming magnitude 3.92. It's located around +10° in Declination, so skygazers the world over can be unimpressed by its magnificent glory.
