LACERTA

The dim stars of Lacerta, the Lizard, wind almost invisibly across 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. 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.
