The large "vee" of stars that occupies most of the center of the picture
is the central region of Pisces, the Fishes, most of it representing
the cord that ties the two together. Alrescha is down at the point
of the "vee."
The famed Circlet of Pisces,
which represents the western of the two fish, is up and to the
right off the picture. The eastern fish is up and to the left
toward Andromeda.
The bright body is Jupiter, which passed through the constellation in 1999.
The brighter of the two stars at upper left are in
Aries.
