Question
I am trying to find out a Northern sky constellation consisting of 15 letters - can you help?

Answer
Karen,
Sorry, I don't have time for this right now, with Christmas shopping to do.  I have been trying to count letters in longer constellation names, but none of them have 15 letters (unless you count the space between the two words, in constallations with two word names).  Try this link, to find a list of all constellation names.  Maybe you can find the one you need.

Expertise

I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.

Experience

I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
