I feel the same way about points on the steering compass, especially under square sails.
Best, Doug

Hi,
I for one would have to disagree – it would be a pity to throw away several millennia of constellation lore and mythology so deeply ingrained in the science, religion, literature and art of countless cultures in both the Old as the New World.

Hello!
I think - the whole concept of so called "constellations" is wrong and misleading, it should be dumped, along with the "compass points", AM/PM time representation, etc.
Warm regards,
