Gene, I will not need to delete anything, this will simply be the 114th object in the SAC asterisms database. So, Jennifer's Confluence (sp?) is at 18h 16.5m and -18d 52m as far as I = can figure from a place within M 24 that is a spot where two rather = prominent chains of stars come close to one another. The entire asterism is about = 17 arcminutes in size. Let me know if I am on the right track. Input from Jennifer, did you spot it in binoculars, so are we looking at bright = stars?
