Lovely picture.

Hate the classical "constellation" overlay.
Even astronomers seem to lose the "join-the-dots" picture,
mostly because the images are bowdlerised, or disassociated from the item they describe.

Professor Alan Pickup, at Edinburgh, mentioned a while ago that he couldn't see how Auriga, the Charioteer, was that shape.

Of all people, Denny, you should be able to see that one. Chariot reins, wound around the charioteers waist, with one lead horse, slightly in front, and one following horse. What do you think, Denny? Do you "see" that one, or am I whistling in the dark?

<snort> Good grief...you flub your post, and then blame your poor wife for it! I'm appalled, Denny! Simply appalled!
