Possible Constellations - f68r.2 - caitlin_B200 - 14-02-2020
I was looking at the folio 68r.2 after reading a thread in this forum about it. I noticed that they had marked two constellations on this page (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.).
I think that the constellation at the bottom of the page near the star they have marked Sirus, could be the constellation Cancer. I looked at the modern starmap for Cancer, which has 4 stars in it. Therefore if this is Cancer then the stars would be Iota Carncri, Asellus Borealis, Asellus Australis, Acubens and Altarf. At first look this star drawing looks to be made of 3 stars. But further up there is another star which might show Iota Cancri.
Another constellation that was marked was the open ended triangle at the top of the page that looks a little like the ship from the game Astroid. I think that this shows the Summer Triangle constelation. If so then the stars for this is Vega (top left), Deneb (bottom left) and Altair (bottom right).
