How many official constellations have astronomer's identified?
88 official constellations - but there are also some asterisms up there too. Asterisms are patterns of stars that aren't official constellations like, The Big Dipper, Orion's Belt, The Summer Triangle, etc.
What was the first constellation discovered?
Constellations have been identified by different cultures going back to ancient and pre-historic times, so it could not be said what ones were identified first. People just looked into the night sky and saw all the stars and then imagined them as patterns in the sky. That is the origin of modern constellations.

When was the constellation of Pegasus first sighted?
There is no real answer to that, because as long as humans have been looking at the night sky, all the constellations have been seen. Initially they were not given names and identified in the way we do now, having 88 identified constellations, but they could all be seen. Pegasus was a constellation listed in Ptolemy's 48 constellations, which he did in the 1st century AD. You could use that as an answer, but it was only given a name around that time, not actually first sighted, which is your question.
