| Principal star listings for each constellation appear below, selected from the Bright Star Catalog 5th edition. All stars with a Flamsteed designation and/or a greek Bayer designation are listed with selected data. That may be more than the stars commonly referred to as principal stars, but they're listed anyway. Each star has a link to its atlas location via its Harvard Revised (HR) number. |

The night sky atlas creates images of any part of the night sky, allowing easy location of any object.
Detailed chart images show all stars visible to the naked eye, the constellations, Messier objects, and names of the brightest stars.
Data sources: Bright Star Catalog from the Astronomical Data Center,
star names list from Steven Gibson,
all-sky Milky Way image by Axel Mellinger.
