21 September 2014

This schematic is something I developed a couple of years ago to help me identify the stars of the Pleiades and it has been hanging out here as a draft all this time waiting for another Pleiades observation. So I decided it was time to publish it. And it won't be long before the Pleiades is once again visible in the night sky.
