I'm not sure if anyone's posted this before or if anyone's had this problem before, but after I hit submit after finding the Sleeper constellation, it keeps telling me that's not a constellation. It does the standard double-checking of astronomical data, then gives me that parchment that says "it looks like those stars don't match any constellations."
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Once I got the third! star data coordinates and put them into the ever so useful and truly spiffy starmapper I got the constellation pretty quickly. I just enlarged the starmap to 1200 by 1200, used a ss of the tomb door, layered that and lowered opacity and moved it around until I found what I thought was the right spot.
The excel method won't work for me. I can get to the x, but when I try to do the y scatter I get an error about the minus signs that are in column B. So thanks again for that starmapper!
I wonder if we'll be getting a new map for every constellation. One thing (haven't read through this entire thread yet, so forgive if this has been mentioned) ... the long url numbers on the bottom of the tomb page? The first number was the same as the first number in one of the stars for the Sleeper for me and a few other people on the board. I didin't actually notice this until after I'd done everything.

Ye Olde Star Mapper really does help a lot of people and I suggest you all try to use it, and thank darkfire for that. If you can see your entire sky at once, it is a lot easier to find things in your Telescope, especially if you can also wave your mouse over darkfire's page and see coordinates.

Momo, from looking at your ss, I see another star that you must have clicked on right on the edge of the message scroll. That could be the problem.
