One of the large constellations of the northern hemisphere. It
is thought to represent a winged horse. The Four of the stars
alpha Peg, beta Peg, gamma Peg and alpha And form an easy to
view square. Originally the fourth star was called delta Peg,
but nowadays this star is assigned to the neighbouring
constellation Stars and other objects The brightness of the red
giant star beta,Peg, called Scheat (the shoulder), varies
irregularly between 2nd and 3rd magnitude. The double epsilon
Peg, called Enif, is a wide pair, very unequal in brightness.
The first component is a K2 super giant of 2.39 mag. The second
component of 9th mag becomes visible in binoculars or small
scopes. 1 Peg is also an object for small scopes. The pair
consists of a 4.13 mag F5 subgiant with an 9th mag companion.
The 6th mag globular cluster M15 is one of the densest of this
type. It is notable for its collapsed core as well as for its
high amount of known variable stars and pulsars. To view it
binoculars and small scopes are sufficient. T
