Frank sent the attachment -
"stonehenge.stars.markedup.jpg" (included again here) with the comment
""For what it's worth."

And indeed, it's worth a good deal. I had been puzzling about how to create
something like that, and Frank has kindly offered it up on a plate.

I plan to email it to the Guardian, together with an attachment "northern
sky view.gif", which superimposes my rough sketch of the Sonehenge picture
on to a map of northern stars (from the almanac).

Thanks to Frank, for filling in that picture; to Dave, whose identification
of Vega, and other stars including Deneb, provided the key for unlocking
the puzzle; and to Patrick, for identifying the sarsen stones.

If anything comes of it, such as a further published correction, I will
inform the list.

George.

I meant to include a marked up copy of the image indicating the stars and
constellations. For what it's worth...
