Location
If it's a constellation recognized by a specific country, it will be placed near the latitude of said nation unless specified otherwise. If the nation who posted it isn't on the map and the submitter didn't specify where they wanted it, I'll follow up and ask for location in the sky.

Self-explanatory. For reference, this rentry will be using the fanbase names for the relevant constellations, with the exceptions of those that represent /vtwbg/ or the catalog.
Lore
Cultural relevance and other aspects of the constellation would go here.
Pending Constellations
Readers are free to submit more ideas for the catalog, /vtwbg/, or any thread that probably shouldn't be approached like /#/. Readers are free to submit individual constellations of their own in /vtwbg/, assuming they follow the template above. Anyone who wishes to submit a constellation is advised to follow irl constellation patterns where the stars form the "bones" of the constellation rather than the outline. The current plan is to put all the images into a single "Viti Night Sky" collage and add some miscellaneous scattered stars around the remaining empty space once everything is added.

Multiple (see Lore)
Lore
Identified by numerous nations across Viti independently of each other. Thus, many have their own perspective of the Fat Fuck's specific shape. Regardless, it's one of the most readily recognized constellations of the night sky, leading to many young stargazers enthusiastically yelling "Fat Fuck!" in the middle of the night.

The "stem" is often omitted, resulting in many charts depicting the Clover as a four-star constellation. The center of the aforementioned four stars is believed to be situated directly above Viti's south pole. Said four stars are also named after the Four Heavenly Kings.
