Constellation Archer (fkrè.)
The Archer, or Sagittarius as we call this constellation, is usually depicted as a girl with an elaborate feathered headdress. She is aiming west at the Scorpion, more accurately at the star Antares, which is known as the Apple Star (memqxxalè.) for its reddish colour.

The 120 naked-eye stars
In the ‘Our designation’ column, letters (sometimes with superscript numbers) in front of constellation symbols refer to Bayer’s catalogue or to variable star designations, and numbers to Flamsteed’s catalogue. Row colours roughly approximate the stars’ colours. The links lead to the stars’ entries in the SIMBAD Astronomical Database.
