One thing that struck me in the illustrations of the Augsburg MS is the different shapes of the 'stars' used to represent the planets, also in the weekday diagrams. Some have six points, others eight, and Venus has a flower-like shape in addition.
This, we also see in the individual cosmological diagrams.
Still, I would like to see more examples.
That the upper-left circle could represent the moon is also suggested by the many crescents on the inside.
The 'tent' in the lower-right circle could also represent some object (tabernacle?) made of gold.....
However, this is exactly as far as I got....
