Difference between Asterism (astronomy) and Bayer designation

Asterism (astronomy) vs. Bayer designation

In observational astronomy, an asterism is a popular known pattern or group of stars that are recognised in the night sky. A Bayer designation is a stellar designation in which a specific star is identified by a Greek letter, followed by the genitive form of its parent constellation's Latin name.
