Re: VMs: Folio 68r3

[Rene Zandbergen <r_zandbergen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

_if_ the triangle on f68r3 refers to three named
stars (which is not even certain to me), then a
good candidate triplet should be Deneb, Vega and 
Altair.

Personally, I don't like this solution, because 
I like to see one that also explains the figure
with the two stars and the figure with the four
stars.
In particular the latter one does not strike me
as being obvious anywhere on the celestial
sphere. 

My guess has always been that there could be one
picture for each season. Pleiades would be 
winter, the above-mentioned triangle summer.
The four stars that are obvious in autumn are
Pegasus, but again, the shape is wrong...

Cheers, Rene
