[Merged] Stars identified
#21
The constellation at the base of the page, highlighted in blue. Looks a lot like the constellation Cancer. If this is so then these would be the following stars:
  • The star at the top, (the 7 pointed star) would be Iota Cancri
  • The star in the middle (the 6 pointed star) would be Asellus Australis
  • The star on the bottom left (a 6 pointed star) would be Acubens
  • And the star on the bottom right (another 6 pointed star) would be Altarf. 
I dont know if this is right. I am a little unsure of Iota Cancri, but another possibility is that it could be the other star in the Cancer constellation which is Asellus Borealis. There is a star a little further up would therefore be Iota Cancri. The amount of letters also kind of match as well. There is 9 on the manuscript and 10 in the actual modern name.
