Description

Serves as a seasonal clock.Cassiopeia was the first asterism that i learnt and is still a reference point for me in the sky from which to step across to other asterisms.
This time of year when i step into my garden my ete is always drawn to it with Perseus underneath.
Apparently the nickname navi was given to this star during the early space missions ,where astronaut virgil ivan gus used his own middle name backwards as a moniker,the star being useful as easily identifiable navigational reference point.

Apparrenlty like most stars this is acually more than one object,a multi star system,maybe containing up to 8 stars?!!

Thanks for looking.
