Blue Theta1 Sagittarii is one of two stars in Sagittarius bearing the 'Theta' designation, though these two stars are unrelated except that they lie relatively close to one another in the sky. The other 'Theta' star, the rather fainter Theta2 Sagittarii, is thirty-four arcminutes to the north from Theta1, and can been seen on this image by zooming out slightly.
