Asterisms: Ally's Braid

This beautiful parade of 7th and 8th magnitude stars wind south and east from etaTau in the Pleiades. I imagine this stellar chain as the flowing locks of Lady Alcyone. Best enjoyed thru binoculars and widefield scopes, the asterism is centered at RA 03 48 DEC 23 45. [image courtesy of Aladin]
