According to expert research (er, something posted on Reddit) the famed "second star to the right" mentioned in Peter Pan is likely Alpha Cephei of the constellation Cepheus, so that seems a good option for Dido given how important a character from that story is gonna turn out to be to her

TODAY'S CHARACTER: What would your character's constellation be?
Stories so old are told with shapes in the stars. If Homer's are up there, why not ours?

Look up, stargazers! #DeltaCephei is a variable #star that changes in brightness with clock-like precision every 5.366 days. Delta Cephei, and other stars like it, are important players in establishing the distance scale of our galaxy … and our #universe. #astronomy 🌟🌌

Tässä vielä koko IC 1396. Sumu on taivaalla yli kolme astetta laaja, eli noin kuuden täysikuun levyinen. Sitä ionisoi keskellä oleva kuuma kaksoistähti.
Yläreunassa loistava tähti, Myy Cephei/Granaattitähti, on eräs suurimmista tunnetuista tähdistä, säteeltään noin 1 650 Auringon sädettä.
