Many thanks to everyone who replied to last week’s question on the pointer stars to Polaris. The winner this week is Ed Bushman, sv Vela who emailed: “The two stars at the outer edge of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) point to the north star (Polaris).  A straight line from these stars extend about 5x the distance to find Polaris.”
