[Chaos-l] Nu DRA and asterism...

[Robert Nielsen]

Jon,

Did you see the asterism in a star chart?  I don't see it in any of my planetarium programs.

By the way, I couldn't do a decent star count at Medoc last night ... the moon washed out the contrast in the sky for the entire time I was there.   I'll try next time.

I've looked on Sky Atlas 2000, and there's no NGC object recorded there.  A google search on Nu Draconis hasn't turned up anything interesting.
