Hipparchus: Pisces
A brief chapter, in which we use the stars of Pegasus to define the stars of the southernmost of the two fishes of Pisces.
A nice example of how bright stars are used to define lesser stars, which are in turn used to define other stars.
We also see that sometimes, a dim star stands out because it falls upon several alignments.
