the center of the picture, lost in the myriad faint ones of the Milky
way, which is concentrated to the left (north). Alpha Lacertae is the brightest
star just to the left of center. 10 Lacertae is one of many stars to
the right of center, wihle 2 Lac is the third of the modestly bright
stars up and to the right of Alpha. Stars of northern
Pegasus are to the right. Pi-1 Pegasi is the fainter of the pair of stars
near the upper right corner, Pi-2 the fainter. At far right below center
lie Matar (Eta Pegasi,
above) and Scheat (Beta Pegasi, near the lower right corner). Just
above center at far left is Delta Cephei. Omicron Andromedae is the
The brightest star near bottom center. 16 lac is up and to the right of it,
while 12 Lac is up and a bit right of 16.
