  The function $G_\alpha(z)=1+ z/(1-\alpha z^2)$, \, $0\leq \alpha <1$, maps
the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ onto the interior of a domain known as the
Booth lemniscate. Associated with this function $G_\alpha$ is the recently
introduced class $\mathcal{BS}(\alpha)$ consisting of normalized analytic
functions $f$ on $\mathbb{D}$ satisfying the subordination $zf'(z)/f(z) \prec
G_\alpha(z)$. Of interest is its connection with known classes $\mathcal{M}$ of
functions in the sense $g(z)=(1/r)f(rz)$ belongs to $\mathcal{BS}(\alpha)$ for
some $r$ in $(0,1)$ and all $f \in \mathcal{M}$. We find the largest radius $r$
for different classes $\mathcal{M}$, particularly when $\mathcal{M}$ is the
class of starlike functions of order $\beta$, or the Janowski class of starlike
functions. As a primary tool for this purpose, we find the radius of the
largest disc contained in $G_\alpha(\mathbb{D})$ and centered at a certain
point $a \in \mathbb{R}$.
