Perhaps the Hyades-like configuration I saw was an effect of my limited sky conditions, or perhaps merely something my brain translated as such. Nonetheless, it proved to be a tool by which I counted stars time after time.
I know the configuration about which you speak. It's about 2" below the center on my chart. It points to the right on the chart. It could be described as the Hyades. I call it Cepheus.
There is also a Cassiopeia figure on the M44 chart, but it is only seen in it entirity when using 100 binocular telescope.
