I know but the modern tradition ,like for a couple thousand years ,has been the TWELVE signs of the zodiac.

I think the old guys had way too much imagination;few of the constellations look much like the supposed hero,creature,or object to me.

Been too cold for stargazing here anyway.But a like-new CR150 sits waiting for me to pick it up tommorrow!Wonder how many astronomers are on FR?
