Zodiac accuracy?

Asked by daniel johansson

Hello.

Awsome app :) really enjoying it.

I have a question regarding the zodiacs.
The iPad app "star walk" shows zodiacs as well but some of them are different, connected different or just different.
example capricorn, pieces (the 2 fish), balance (scale, libra)

Also, when browsing around i end up with many different versions.

is there anything as an "official" version?

Thanks very much for your answer in advance!
Daniel

You mean the constellations? And the "stick figures" of stars associated with them?

There are no "official" constellation figures. The official definition of a constellation as used by the International Astronomical Union is an area in the sky defined by its borders. (You can toggle the borders by pressing "B".) The "figures" are left to people's imagination. :)

Can you help with this problem?
