[AZ-Observing] Re: Jennifer's confluence info please

Howdy all;

Here is the data I entered for Jenn's Confluence, if anyone has changes, let
me know.  I used the designator "h" for the multiple star because this is
the designation used in the SAC double star database.  What I am posting the
"fence" version the other two versions are identical.

|Jenn's Confluence     |SGR|18 13.4|-18 47| 8  |15'        |15 | 7 |The
merging of two curved star chains at the NW edge of the M 24 star cloud;
includes multiple star h 594                                     |

Name  Con  RA  Dec  Mag  Size  Tirion Chart  Bright Star Atlas Chart

Notes

I look forward to an evening when we can all gather round the telescopes and
enjoy a view of this new asterism.

That ought to do it;
Steve Coe

Here's a correction to the RA that Tom Mozden just notified me of, it should

read RA 18h, NOT 8h--it was a typo in the  July-August French Astronomie 
magazine as well--at least in the pages that the author sent me.  I changed 
it in my email below as well.
Thanks,
Jennifer
