Enif - ε Pegasi (epsilon Pegasi)
Enif, also designated as ε Pegasi (epsilon Pegasi), is a variable and multiple supergiant star in the constellation of Pegasus.
Enif visual magnitude is 2.39, making it the 82th brightest star in the sky. Thanks to its high brightness, Enif is clearly visible when observed from locations with dark skyes, and should be also quite easily visible from light polluted areas.
The table below summarizes the key facts about Enif:
Celestial coordinates and finder chart of Enif
Enif is situated close to the celestial equator, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. Celestial coordinates for the J2000 equinox as well as galactic coordinates of Enif are provided in the following table:

Digitized Sky Survey image of Enif
The image below is a photograph of Enif from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see the credits section) taken in the red channel. The area of sky represented in the image is 0.5x0.5 degrees (30x30 arcmins). The proper motion of Enif is 0.031 arcsec per year in Right Ascension and -0.001 arcsec per year in Declination and the associated displacement for the next 10000 years is represented with the red arrow.
