Since V Sge is in the far upper-left of Sagitta, the current Location mark image, based on the existing Sagitta constellation image, puts the target circle off-center. It would be much easier for the average user to get a sense of context, see stars of similar brightness to the eventual nova, notice the spot near the center of the image, and find the right area of the sky if the image included the Summer Triangle stars. E.g. it could be based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulpecula#/media/File:Vulpecula_IAU.svg as shown above, or on a relatively simple modification of that image with an all-white background. ★NealMcB★ (talk) 03:20, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
@Nealmcb: The IAU maps are terrible to view at a thumbnail level, though, which is how they'll be presented in {{Starbox image}}. Note how things are a lot more discernable on Torsten Bronger's map (left) compared to the IAU map (right) when viewed at thumbnail width? – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 00:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
Article says, “The doubling time is about 89 years.” Doubling time of what? Mass transfer? How is this related to the doubling time of brightness, about 30 years (based on 10x over a century)? And how does this gradual brightening relate, if at all, to the increase in the final weeks or months, as the wording seems to suggest? Jmacwiki (talk) 04:50, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
