f68r: eclipse from 1419?

While looking at the folio, it's pretty noticeable that there's a line drawn from the sun to a group of seven stars. Andrés argues that it's the Pleiades, but this just didn't make sense to me: why would the Pleiades have a line like this?

The heliacal rising and setting of the Pleiades have been important cultural events to many different peoples throughout the centuries. They're a timing device. They're extremely visible, in a lot of locales. They were also rising in the East at this moment of the eclipse, according to the set location of Switzerland, matching f68r.
