[Try Astronomy] Re: Correction of Pronunciation Error - Constellation Cepheus

[Bob <singularity@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An easy error to make.  My ex recently took in a kitten, naming it Cepheus.  Of 
course, I called it "sefEus"  with the short e.  She corrected me to pronounce 
it with the long "E".  Still, I think the short "e" sounds better!

The pronunciation of Cepheus (Constellation Cepheus) used during the 
presentation at the Urban Stargazers meeting last evening, Thursday, October 
14th is incorrect. The correct pronunciation of Cepheus is; "sE-fUs" or 
"sE-fE-us". The E and U are long as in "bE" and "cUbe".

My apologies for the error.
