Hi GB. As I'm sure you've guessed, I'm subbing Asterisms at A63021359.
Can you give me a reference for Dubhe being a sometime pole star, as by my calculations it was never near the pole.

I think that's an error, I probably forgot to remove it when I lifted the table off another entry. Would you replace "sometime pole star" with "official state star of Utah" or just "multiple star" please?

that should be:
Persian astronomer Abd-al-Rahman Al Sufi (903 - 986) described the 'nebulous object' in his Book of Fixed Stars published in 964.
And you can remove the external link to Al Sufi if it's a problem, it's just there for reference purposes.
I'm going to be gone all day running my mother about by the time I'm done my grandson will be here; I'm also going out tonight so doubt I'll log back in again today at all.
