Constellations Puzzle - p.33

[morpheus221]

Few thoughts here:
-several “constellations” depicted in image
-do not seem to match up with any known constellations
-earth, bear, words “PEGASUS and PISCES”

Wondering if this is a substitution cipher where each “constellation” represents a number or letter determined by counting the number of stars. The other images/words could be simple distractions.

Here are the counts I came up with (left to right, top to bottom). There is some ambiguity here.

5 (E)
14 (N)
24 (X)
4 (D)
18 (R) or 15 (O)/ 3 (C)
6 (F)
13 (M)
5 (E)
20 (T) or 19 (S) / 1 (A)

Numbers 26 or less make me think of a simple substitution cipher.
Thoughts?
