Alpha Aquarii is Sadalmelik ("Lucky One of the King's"). This yellow supergiant is found by starting in Pegasus, to the north.
    From the Great Square of Pegasus locate the brightest star in Pegasus -- epsilon (Enif), which is southwest of the Square. Now move to the southeast two binocular fields: binoculars.

Just to the east of alpha is the Water Jug, tipped with water pouring out of it.
