Pegasus, the Flying Horse, stretches from left to right, its
most obvious feature the
Great Square seen to the left of center, here oriented as a diamond.
At the far left edge is Alpheratz (Alpha Andromedae), which connects
the Great Square with Andromeda.
Scheat, Beta Pegasi, is at the top of the Square, Algenib at
the bottom. The
constellation continues to the right of Markab at the right-hand corner of
the Square ending in Enif, the bright star toward upper right.
Matar is just above and to the right of Scheat. To the immediate right
of Markab are Xi Pegasi and Homam (Zeta). The pair of stars that
make Pi Pegasi are off the top edge of the picture and appear on the image
of Lacerta. The
"Water Jar" of Aquarius is below Enif,
the "Circlet" of Pisces below Markab.
