I did, Paul, when I first put it up, and found Orion behind the Sun on May 15, 2003, but Taurus and Aries slightly to the RIGHT.

Orion is very close to being DIRECTLY behind the Sun, but the 12th is in a retrograde
orbit at the time of passage. Thus, it comes in slightly to the right of the Sun. Your
inspection is very helpful, however, as there ARE some errors in that diagram that our
emissary, Nancy, would not easily recognize. At times it takes hours, spent while she
draws diagrams and mulls it all over, for her to gain a basic understanding necessary for us
to relay a point. Thus, there are errors in that diagram that YOU could recognize and
comment upon, and help your fellow man in this regard.

Lord knows THAT's true. I've heard from a very nice gentleman via e-mail who's trying to help me pin down the angle at point of passage. 32 degrees as it enters the Solar System. Then it comes in the general direction of Earth on a line that puts it between the Earth and Sun, but also zooming up OVER the Earth. Then, even though it's moving from Saturn's orbit, that distance away, to the Earth in 6 weeks, it's also in a retrograde orbit so might have a slight curve.
So what would that look like from the Earth?
