Your own asterisms

[Pixies]

Last night I was pondering Aquila (as one does), and thinking about a pattern I notice more than the constellation itself. There's a curve of bright stars at the eagle's tail (which contains the Wild Duck cluster), that always catches my eye. 

Which isn't even part of Aquila, or even Scutum. The latter is unnoticeable to me.

I'll need to give it a name - le Croissant, perhaps. Do any of you have your own asterisms?

One of the members of my astro society. Eddie Carpenter, has an asterism named after him - Eddie's Roller Coaster. It is a nice binocular target in Cassiopeia and included in this BAA list:

I'm really fond of the Wild Duck Cluster- and I know that asterism from star hopping my way to it. I'll think of it as Pixie's Croissant on my way there each time now!

There's a group of stars in Auriga that you can't miss when you're looking for, say, M38, that I always think of as "the bent tuning fork".

"Do any of you have your own asterisms? "

No, i must be lacking in the imagination department!

Couple of my fav's though~ "ET" star cluster in Cassiopeia.
