Andromeda sweeps from right to left. The bright star
at upper right is Alpheratz, Alpha Andromedae, which is also the
northeastern star of the
Great Square of Pegasus. Almach, Gamma
Andromedae is toward lower left, while Mirach (Beta Andromedae) is between them just
below center, with Mu nearly above it. Delta is just below a line between Alpheratz and
Mirach. Pi is up and to the left of Delta, Epsilon down and to the right.
The Andromeda Nebula, M31, is the fuzzy object toward
top center (pointed to by Beta and Mu);
M32 is the tiny dot just down and to the right of it. See them both in
the close up. Nu Andromedae is just down and to the left of M31.
Epsilon is the lower right of the trio down and to the
left of Alpheratz. Phi And is the brighter star immediately to the left M31
The star near the lower left edge is Beta Trianguli in
Triangulum. The galaxy M33 (in Triangulum) is the faint smudge up and to
the right of it, while the even fainter
open cluster NGC 752 lies back in Andromeda above and a bit left of the star.
Lambda Andromedae is off the picture to the upper right, but appears
on the deep image.
