Abstract
During October nights, the winged horse Pegasus flies high through the sky. Its westward motion is followed in a loyal manner by the lonely autumn star, Fomalhaut. Our night-time window is slowly turning towards the rim of the Milky Way where new constellations with exciting stellar treasures await our visit (Fig. 12.1).
