I will not here repeat the glyph text with updated data for the stars which I am gradually adding to my list. It is enough to do so in the Upgraded G Text section.

Instead we should here move on to the stars (and other phenomena) in Cancer:

These are the Cancer stars in my current list, 16 such:

	ω Cancri	5.87	25° 24′ N	07h 58m	121.2
*Heap of Fuel*	μ Cancri	5.30	21° 35′ N	08h 05m	123.1
	ψ Cancri	5.73	25° 30′ N	08h 07m	123.6
*Tegmine*	ζ Cancri	4.67	17° 39′ N	08h 10m	124.3
*Al Tarf*	β Cancri	3.53	09° 11′ N	08h 14m	125.3
*Bright Fire*	λ Cancri	5.92	24° 01′ N	08h 18m	126.4
	θ Cancri	5.33	18° 06′ N	08h 29m	129.2
	η Cancri	5.33	20° 26′ N	08h 30m	129.5
*Beehive*	ε Cancri	6.29	19° 33′ N	08h 38m	131.4
*Ascellus Borealis*	γ Cancri	4.66	21° 39′ N	08h 40m	131.9
*Ascellus Australis*	δ Cancri	3.94	18° 20′ N	08h 42m	132.4
	ι Cancri	4.03	28° 46′ N	08h 44m	133.0
*Acubens (442)*	α Cancri	4.26	12° 03′ N	08h 56m	136.0
	ν Cancri	5.45	24° 27′ N	09h 00m	137.0
	κ Cancri	5.23	10° 40′ N	09h 05m	138.3
	ξ Cancri	5.16	22° 03′ N	09h 07m	138.8

The following are missing: χ, φ, υ, σ, ρ, τ, ο, and π. 16 + 8 = 24 = the number of letters in the Greek alphabet:

Α α	Ν ν
Β β	Ξ ξ
Γ γ	Ο ο
Δ δ	Π π
Ε ε	Ρ ρ
Ζ ζ	Σ σ/ς
Η η	Τ τ
Θ θ	Υ υ
Ι ι	Φ φ
Κ κ	Χ χ
Λ λ	Ψ ψ
Μ μ	Ω ω

I have redmarked the stars already in my list. Remarkably the remaining 8 Greek letters appear to belong together in a group.
