Maggie's Butterfly

< Just a few minutes east of Lambda, another, until recently unknown, asterism can be found. It is composed of seven stars of eighth and ninth magnitudes. Imagining a butterfly is not difficult.

VIC: I named it after its discoverer, Maggie, who found it by chance during our joint observation on April 2, 2010, in Jítravě. Personally, I also see a radio telescope there, but the butterfly is better :þ
