Bordering on trivial solving, but a neat idea.

I agree with Kristen. Good idea but probably could have found a way to make a more interesting puzzle.

OK. All pieces of this series will very boring for those who don't interested in astronomy but like to share their family events...
Try to ignore my puzzles or be quiet, pls.
Thank You! :)

OK

You don't have to get snippy. Astronomy is fascinating, but it would be much better to have an accompanying puzzle that's somewhat challenging to solve.

I don't think you get it Thomas. Did you study democracy in school? On this site everyone gets to solve or not solve any puzzle they want. They also get to comment or not comment on any puzzle they want. It is not your call. Most of the people who make puzzles on this site do so with with the solvers in mind, trying to make puzzles that are interesting and that are fun to solve.

1. I'd never learnt democracy in school. When I finished my school, there was a dictatorship. :)
2. I love democracy, that's why I offered you can ignore this series, because these will boring to solve.
3. Usually I choose hard puzzles to solve in this site, because my favourite types are not PBN puzzles but other language-based or logical enigmas.
I don't like to make hard puzzles in any type.
4. I'd never commented puzzles about american films and non-european literature. I'm not interested in it, but I didn't called them boring...
5. IMHO: my puzzles about astronomy are interesting but boring to solve. Your cat is boring thematical, but more interesting to solve.
Agreed? :)

Deneb, the tail of Cygnus is part of an asterism called the summer triangle. It is up all summer long. Alberio the eye of the swan is a telescopic double with one blue star and one yellow star. They are not part of a binary system, they just happen to be lined up from our vantage point.
