M74 is another galaxy, actually in Pisces the fish but mentioned here because it is located east of the square of Pegasus and can be approximately located by extending a line from Markab through Algenib about one square-width east. Once you're in the area, spot the 3rd magnitude star Eta Piscum and scoot your telescope a bit over one degree east-northeast to spot this fairly faint but lovely face-on spiral galaxy.
