Alpheratz - α Andromedae (alpha Andromedae)
Alpheratz, also designated as α Andromedae (alpha Andromedae), is a variable and double sub-giant star of spectral class B8 in the constellation of Andromeda.
Alpheratz visual magnitude is 2.06, making it the 53th brightest star in the sky. Because of its brightness, Alpheratz is clearly visible to the naked eye when observed from locations with dark skies, and should be also quite easily visible from light polluted areas.
