Capricornus is another one of those faint constellations of the Zodiac. It can be found just south of Aquarius which means that it never rises too high in the sky for Northern Hemisphere skygazers.
The brightest star of Capricornus is alpha Capricorni which is actually a double and triple star next to one another. The components of the double star are about magnitude 3 and while the triple star are made up of a star with magnitude 3 and two others of magnitude 11.
