Lacerta (the Lizard)

Japanese: とかげ座(蜥蜴座) - とかげざ(英語表記)Lacerta
Lacerta (the Lizard)
Abbreviation: Lac. A small constellation in the northern sky along the Milky Way in autumn. It is in the area between Andromeda and Cygnus, and was newly established in the 17th century by German astronomer J. Hevelius. There are no bright stars, so it is difficult to imagine the shape of this small animal from the starlight. As it is along the Milky Way, novas often appear in this constellation. Its approximate position is right ascension 22h25m, declination +43°. It reaches its culmination at 8pm in late October. [Ishida Goro]
