| | Bayer designation - Wikipedia |
 | | In practice, there are numerous examples where the designations are out of order, and there are even cases where a star has a designation for a constellation in which it does not lie (according to the modern constellation boundaries). | | | In principle, the brightest star of the constellation should be given the designation Alpha, the next brightest Beta, and so on. | | | Usually these are double stars (mostly optical doubles rather than true binaries), but there are some exceptions such as the chain of stars π |
