Andromeda (Oct 24 2003 02:41 GMT) - Andromeda (If you can't see the stars, turn up the brightness.) Pegasus is the trapezoid of four bright stars near the top, and Cassiopea is the smaller conglomeration stuck into the edge of the light polution, right in the center, about two thirds of the way down.
