Description

Last year i was searching for some known or unknown asterisms in the night sky and found one not well known which lies funny near very known star Mirfak in Perseus constelation. Some 10 quite bright and large young stars lie near the main star Mirfak and if you conect all the stars with line you' ll get the form of a goose or duck. The only information about this asterism was written in a book Binocular Highlights by Gary Seronik. It is on page 18. Unfortunately i don't have the book but i surely wanted to see this asterism since it fit perfectly with my refractor and Nikon camera with APSC sensor. Hope you like it!
