Summary

Chinese "Wei" (Tail)-constellation with a slightly emphasized Milky Way, simulated with Stellarium 2025. The two amorphous regions show that there are many faint stars embedded in bright clouds of the Milky Way. It suggests that ancient astronomers considered these asterisms (or "stars") as "patchy" and not as accurate dots.
