Part of a series of images that use astronomical data to construct landscapes with starry skies. Every dot in the sky is a real star!
This one shows the constellation Pegasus as it can be seen from latitude 45°S. The bottom part of Aquarius can just be seen above Pegasus's head. The bright star in the West is Altair which forms part of the constellation Aquila, and the constellations Equuleus and Delphinus can be seen between that and Pegasus's head.
The image includes stars of magnitude 10 or brighter, and therefore contains many stars that are not visible to the naked eye and which can only usually be seen through binoculars or a telescope. The

includes some closeups.
Since this is Pegasus, I've added a few horses (though none of them have wings).
