Start by finding the Summer Triangle, which consists of the three of the brightest stars in the sky--Vega, Deneb, and Altair. The Summer Triangle is high overhead throughout the summer, and it sinks lower in the west as fall progresses.
Find Altair at the south point of the Summer Triangle. Look about 10 degrees to the east to find the distinctive shape of Delphinus, which does resemble a dolphin jumping out of the water.
It is about 3 1/2 degrees from Beta (β) in the center of Delphinus to Epsilon (ε) in the tail. From Epsilon, look another 3 1/2 degrees south to reach the location of NGC 6934.
