PISCIS
AUSTRALIS
(Abbreviation:
PsA).
Also known as Piscis Austrinus. No specific mythological legends have been associated with it. It contains Fomalhaut, which is, incidentally, the most southerly of the first-magnitude stars to be visible from England (mag. 1.16), but there are no other stars above the fourth magnitude.
