An EVAC member recently asked me about an asterism named "Mini-Orion" in SAC's
Asterism Database. The coordinates are given as 7h17.0m -21d24m. He noted
that several observers have not spotted the asterism at this position. Another
group has been discussing a mini-Orion at a different location. That
discussion is here: http://mixlab.observatory.cz/mac/?action=view&id=189
When I look at the field around the coordinates in the SAC database in
Megastar, I can't put together an Orion asterism, but I recognize that's not
the same as visually observing the field. Has anybody made a drawing of the
asterism, perhaps with a stick figure. Is there a chance that the coordinates
are erroneous?
