I stand corrected, I'd been working on the 6 stars.
Although I must admit that I thought that the Japanese name for M45 was
'Shichifukujiun' (spell?) - means seven gods or some such.
I don't think that many people would buy a Shichifukujiun Impreza would
they?

Don't ask me how I remember 'Shichifukujiun' - its a long story of little
interest to anyone...
