This is the beginning of my description of line Ga3: Glyph line Ga3 has once again the glyphs 'standing on their feet', after the upside down situation in line Ga2, and the stars in the path of the Sun here belong in Cancer, beginning - according to my current star list - with Heap of Fuel (μ), Tegmine (ζ), and Al Tarf (β):
However, there are also ω and ψ in this region according to the star map above. Fetching data from Wikipedia:
As usual I prefer to ignore less bright stars with the same Greek letters, here ω² and ψ¹ with visual magnitudes 6.32 respectively 6.44. I then converted the RA time data to my right ascension days according to a formula which counts with the approximate value 1440 minutes per year (60 * 24 * 360 = 1440). For instance: (8 * 60 + 0.931) / 1440 * 365.25 = 121.99 (7 * 60 + 45.323) / 1440 * 365.25 = 118.03 The differences between the RA day for Pollux and the RA days for the stars in Cancer were then used to calibrate the values to the time horizon in my star list, e.g.: (121.99 - 118.03) + 117.2 = 121.2 Then I updated my star list (where redmarked stars are new compared to the old list):
Furthermore I inserted a button 'new star list' leading to my updated list. The RA days in my list have to be reduced with 1 day in order to convert them to rongorongo times:
