I haven't been able to find a straight answer.
10 points to best answer, and having a source will earn you brownie points. :)|||There _is_ no straight answer to this question. Vulpecula is a small faint constellation with no bright stars in it whatsoever. Like any area of the sky, there are of course millions of stars if you use a telescope, but just about zip with the naked eye. It has some nice deep sky objects, notably the Dumbbell Nebula (Messier 27) and Brocchi's Cluster (the Coathanger). John Flamsteed cataloged 35 naked eye stars in it, none brighter than 4th magnitude.|||There's no real set answer to this type of question. The bigger the optical aid, the more stars you can see 'in the constellation'.
It's interesting that, so far, 3 planets have been found 'in' the constellation Vulpecula.
One of them is really old; over 10 billion years old.
