| 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. |
