Thanks Vermin. Yeah, I can see that the connecting lines may differ (but I would have thought they would be standard too), but surely the same stars would be used?

If anyone's interested, when I get home I'll scan an example from both and put them here to show what I mean.

I was thinking of drawing in some lines onto my mag7 charts that I printed out - and while they're mainly of use to get you looking in the right part of the sky, I'd like to know if there's a "correct" or "official" definition to the constellations - just for my own interest if nothing else.
