Hi Chris,
Yes, I considered the problem of the Pomerine meant to be in the Northern
Hemisphere right now but the head markings were definitely those of the
Pomerine, not the South Polar. I have seen both before and had a view of this
one for about 3 or 4 minutes through a good scope.
Going by experience, HANZAB and Harrison (both the drawing and photo editions)
I would still say Pomerine.
Cheers
Jen
