Hercules Alfa star
[edit]
I think it is unusual to connect Hercules Alfa to Ophiouchus.
From the project that was used to generate the image: "PP3's constellation lines origin
I created the lines after my fancy. The Atlas für Himmelsbeobachter1 was an important source of inspiration though."[1]
"PP3's boundary data origin
It's the Catalogue of Constellation Boundary Data by Davenhall and Leggett. I had to fix some bugs though, because the Ophiuchus/Serpens region was flawed. Additionally, the original data has peculiarities because it tries to be useful for bounded maps, e.g. in Mercator projection. I removed the resulting spurious lines. "[2]
See also IAU's page: [3]
This could be fixed in the SVG-version?
