	Bayer designation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These designations, which were introduced by Johann Bayer in his star atlas Uranometria (named after Urania) in 1603, consist of a Greek letter followed by the genitive (in Latin) of the name of the constellation in which the star lies.
		Although most common Bayer letters are Greek, it should also be mentioned that the system was extended, first by using lowercase Latin letters, and then by using uppercase Latin letters.
		Note that uppercase Latin Bayer designations never went beyond Q, and names such as R Leporis and W Ursae Majoris are variable star designations, not Bayer designations.

		In 1603, in Augsburg, Germany, Johann Bayer published his celestial atlas "Uranometria," with 48 copperplate engravings of the ancient constellations and one of new southern stars.
		Bayer was the first to assign Greek letters to the stars in order of their brightness.
		Bayer had done the curious thing of reversing many of the constellations –; for example putting the star Ptolemy listed as in the right shoulder of Orion in the left shoulder instead.

	Star designation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Johann Bayer introduced a system of designating the brightest stars in each constellation by means of Greek (or less often) Latin letters, a system which is still widely used.
		John Flamsteed's numbering of stars within constellations have also remained popular, although Bayer's Greek letters are usually preferred when there is a choice.
		Variable stars which do not have Bayer designations are given special designations which mark them out as variable stars.

		Questo sistema, introdotto da Johann Bayer nel suo atlante stellare Uranometria del 1603, consiste di una lettera greca, seguito dal genitivo latino del nome della costellazione di cui la stella fa parte.
		Ci sono due modi per scrivere i nomi di Bayer: si può scrivere il nome per esteso, come per esempio Alpha Canis Majoris o Beta Persei, oppure si usa una lettera greca minuscola assieme all'abbreviazione di 3 lettere corrispondente alla costellazione: α Cma o β Per.
		Occorrre inoltre notare che le lettere maiuscole latine non sono mai andate oltre la lettera Q, e che tutti i nomi a partire dalla "R" (come per esempio W Virginis) sono in realtà nomi di stelle variabili (vedi nomenclatura delle stelle variabili).
