Image Credit: Thuvan Dihn. Information from the creator: This map represents prominent stars in the core of the Hyades Cluster. Filled red circles refer to red giant stars. Filled blue circles refer to A, F, and G-type stars. The four Hyades giants are labeled with their Bayer designations (e.g., Epsilon Tauri). Arabic numerals provide Flamsteed designations (e.g., 68 Tauri). Small italics provide designations from the Henry Draper catalog (e.g., HD 28406). The vertical scale indicates declination; the horizontal scale indicates right ascension, measured in hours and minutes. Not all stars in the field of view belong to the Hyades Cluster. Membership determinations were made on the basis of Table 2 in Perryman et al., "The Hyades Cluster: distance, structure, dynamics, and age" (Astronomy and Astrophysics 331, 81-120, 1998). On this map, the only non-member star that carries a label is the most prominent one, Aldebaran. All other non-member stars are left unmarked.
