Description:
In Draco, with ~ 1° W of Chi Dra. The "W" display of this mini-Cassiopeia is
reversed compared to the same display of the real constellation, located very
close to the northern horizon. I count 6 stars in this asterism, of same color.
Among those, I notice 3 stars of strong brightness (HD 172611, HD 172922 and HD
172783), 2 of average brightness (TYC 4438-981-1 and TYC 4438-942-1) and a
visible last only with averted vision (TYC 4438-1203-1).
