Asterisms -- Do You Want To Know Where They All Are?

[Graeme1858]

The RASC has a page on asterisms with some files you can DL. They looke at different cultures and have a list of over 13 000 of them. https://www.rasc.ca/world-asterism-project

Went looking for Observation awards but only found one specific to asterisms.

Thanks for the links Chich. There's a huge amount of information there.

Asterism hunting could become habit forming!

What an interesting subject. Asterisms. Didn't know there were so many. Looking forward to spotting as many as I can in my retirement. It would a fun thing to try my hand at sketching them and keeping a log book. I'm not a good enough drawer to try anything more complicated. Those who can sketch galaxies, nebula, globular clusters, etc should be very proud of their skills.
