asterism for draco

Asked by BILL PICKARD

The asterism for Draco goes through delta to epsilon directly to chi bypassing tau then directly to zeta bypassing psi. I believe this is incorrect.

Why you believe that asterism of Draco is not correct?

I am comparing it to Chart 5 of the Cambridge Double star Atlas where Tau and
Psi are a part of the asterism whereas they are not a part of it in Stellarium.

Thank you. I have downloaded the TGZ file: what program do you recommend I use to decompress it?

I think better way for you will be just download this file: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~stellarium/stellarium/trunk/view/head:/skycultures/western/constellationship.fab and update it your's Stellarium.

I downloaded the file and see that Tau is now in the asterism. Was there a reason Psi was not also included? Thank you.

As Bogdan mentioned here: https://answers.launchpad.net/stellarium/+question/137828 There are no official IAU constellation figures/lines, only boundaries.
