This asterism is another fine addition to your work. It captures some of the raw wonder and thrill of a group of youngsters staring up through the galaxy with their mouths open as someone points out asterisms and constellations.
"Oh, I see it...yeah..Oh Wow!" "Where, where is it? I don't see it!!!" "Look at that big star over there...see the one? Now look just below it and over to the side...see, it starts there and then goes down to those three stars...see it?" "No what star?" "LEWIS are you trying to be stupid again, I am going to pinch your ear if you start that again!" "NO, SISSY I don't see it! No pinching!"
"OK, that's enough, let him alone. Look Lewis, I am going to shine my flashlight where it is...look down the light going into the sky...OK, it starts here....then goes ooovveeerr to there...then down..." "OH, OH, I see it, I see it, there it is...its right there...I see it!! Does everybody see it? I can see it! It's cool."
Sketching with binoculars, bringing astronomy down to earth.
Good work,
Charles
