2. Let's begin by listing all the main stars of Lepus and Columba. There are none before 5h and only a few beyond 6h, and these last we will save until later.

With main stars I here mean those which are needed for drawing the outline figures in the star charts which I have copied from Wikipedia. These correspond to the outline stars in my astronomy book, with a few rather rare exceptions.

I can find data for the position of Nihal (β Leporis) in my astronomy book, but for the rest I have to use Wikipeida:

To simplify matters I have decided to no longer keep the column based on 360 days instead of 365¼.

Names for individual stars are mostly no longer to be found, and I can mention only Wezn (β Columbae):

"Wezn, or Wazn, is from Al Wazn, Weight." (Allen)

Stars far down must be heavy because they have sunken so low. Wezn is the brightest of all the 8 + 4 = 12 stars which I have added above. I have avoided Chinese names, e.g.:

"In China they [α, β, v², ε, θ, and ĸ Columbae] were Sun, the Child; λ being Tsze, a Son; and the nearby small stars, She, the Secretions." (Allen)

In the G text we can locate these 12 stars too:

Ga1-11 (484) Ga1-12 (485)
Almaaz (483.7), Haedus I (483.8) Haedus II (484.9), ε Leporis, Cursa (485.4)

But I cannot see any obvious value in having stars without names in my G text tables - with one exception, viz. λ Eridani, which we have discussed earlier.
