I called up these coordinates on The SkyX and I think I see it. I have =
pasted it below, but I am not sure the picture will come through when I =
send it to the email list. If it doesn't I will try pasting it.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Mini-Orion Asterism in SAC Database
=20
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: =

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?
