If the image is left/right inverted the spacing would better match the positions I see in CdC
I hoped this could prove to be a bit of a task, . I'm glad it is,

Andrew, the FOV of the sketch is approx 0.35deg, North is to the top, East to the right.

The position of the fuzz on the right is less accurate as it was a real struggle to see and note accurately. Polarissima was difficult for most people to spot, the other two fuzzies were seen by two or three they were so faint. By the description you give, you could well have pinned the items.

Peter, thank you for the links. The second one in particular is a cracker source for me. I might have to put my sketch of PA in as an image...
