Cameron - I was wondering if you recognized this pattern here that
you saw below it?
Schirra - What really flipped· me -- this is where I got in trouble-­
I said somethin$ about the Pleiades and I know I could not see· those.
Cameron - You see according to this the Moon was up at the top (of
the window) and Venus was off to the left. Did you see them?
Schirra - I did not see them during this period, no.

Where is Delphinus?
Delphinus is somewhere.
Roman - I was just thinking about that . . ..
Cameron - Well, he's in Ophiuchus and Hercules and
(General discussion which is inaudible)
Schirra - Delphinus does look something like the Pleiades in a sense ,
yes .
Roman - It's a little larger, but I'm sure that ...
Schirra - At one time I tried to trace this down and see what· I really
was looking at and I frankly have not done it.
This is typical of
everything we do, we always rushed into something else.

the (Northern) Cross.
Cameron - I don't see it .
I don't think it's on here ....
Schirra - D~d I identify - when I said Aldebaran, I may well have been
talking about . . .
Cameron - There's a Norton (Star Atlas) in my bag - maybe I'm - if
you ' d hand it to me - maybe I've got the wrong page--I don't know ­
I don ' t know why - he ' s got it there very clearly.
O' Keefe - You have Ophiuchus, Hercules?
