What is the most dazzling constellation in northern autumn?

According to the sky map, in autumn, the most dazzling constellations in the north should be Cygnus and Lyra, which are located in the west of the north of the night sky.

Cygnus is one of the northern constellations. At 20 o'clock on September 25 every year, the swan constellation rises to the sky. Summer and autumn are the best time to observe Cygnus. Interestingly, the rise and fall of Cygnus is really like a flying swan: it rises obliquely from the northeast to the sky, and when it reaches the zenith, its head points to the west. When it moves to the northwest, it turns head down, tail up and disappears on the horizon.

Lyra is one of the most splendid constellations in the northern galaxy, named after its appearance resembling the ancient Greek harp. It is one of the 48 constellations listed by Ptolemy, an ancient Greek astronomer, and one of the 88 modern constellations designated by the International Astronomical Union.

Although the area of Lyra is very small, it is not difficult to recognize that Lyra is surrounded by Draco, Hercules, Fox and Cygnus when viewed clockwise from the north. Center position: right ascension 18: 50, declination 36. There are 53 stars in the constellation with visual magnitude greater than 6, and 8 of them have visual magnitude greater than 4.
