Hanger for the Cloak of Night

Location of the Coathanger asterism-- from APOD
HANGER FOR THE CLOAK OF NIGHT

All praise to Allah the Maker
of the Sky, the Desert and Sea.
For tonight in the Fox
with seven/fifty binocs
I first saw the Cluster
of abd al-Rahman al-Sufi.


Ibn al-Haltham -- contemporary of abd al-Rahman al-Sufi
