Crossword Genius

Stars identify as you and I (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pegasus

'stars' is the definition.
(constellation)

'identify as you and i' is the wordplay.
'identify' becomes 'peg' (I've seen this in another clue).
'you and i' becomes 'us' (the two of us).
'peg'+'as'+'us'='PEGASUS'

(Other definitions for pegasus that I've seen before include "Northern hemisphere constellation - use gaps (anag)" , "Winged horse - constellation" , "Constellation in the northern hemisphere near Andromeda and Pisces" , "group of stars" , "Flier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
