The extended autumn constellation Pegasus (the Winged Horse) is shown in
the above photography.
The big trapeze on the left hand side can be found easily by naked eye in
the sky (see lines). In mid of October Pegasus
culminates at about 21:30 local time (9:30 pm). The declination range is +5
to +35 degrees. Septembers
Lacerta
and last Novembers
Andromeda
are just above of Pegasus.
The field of Pegasus is very poor in Deep Sky Objects. The existing galaxies
are too faint and too small to be seen clearly in the wide field photography.
The Globular Cluster M 15 is out of the right image border, but can be seen
in the photography of
Equuleus.
