E.R. Tregear, Maori-Polynesian Comparative Dictionary (Lyon and Blair: Lambton Quay, 1891). 1891:235-236). In the mythology of Mangareva, Māui hauls the land up from the sea, and ties the sun with tresses of hair. His father was Ataraga; his mother, Uaega.

Secretly Māui hatched a plan to prove he was a great fisherman. One night when Māui was alone he began weaving a strong fishing line from flax. As he wove he recited an old karakia to give his fishing line strength.

One of the most recognizable and iconic symbols in Polynesian culture is the fish hook symbol. The fish hook symbol or makau and is often carved out of various materials. These include bone, coral, jade, koa wood, or even turtle shells. But what does the fish hook symbolize?Some makau were prized so highly, that they were thought to possess mana (celestial powers) and were hidden in gourds. Even in Hawaiian lore, the god Māui had a makau called Mānaiakalani that he used to try and hook all of the islands together to unite them. This same sentiment of unity still rings true today in Hawai‘i, as the makau remains a symbol of humans’ connection with the sea, its creatures and the fragile balance of life on the Islands. M4 or NGC6121 (Bennett 75, mag. 5.9, size 26'), is described by Dreyer as an open cluster. We now call it a loose globular. He also describes a bar of 8-10 stars across the center of the cluster. This is visible in fairly small instruments (I have seen it with a 3"). He also called it extremely rich (for an open cluster). It is actually rather star poor for a globular. It is located 1.3° west of Antares. JPEG. M80 (NGC6093) is located 4.5° NW of Antares (Alpha Scorpii). A poor cousin to M4, it is quite different, being far more condensed. It shines at mag. 7.2 and extends 9'. This image is from the Digital Sky Survey. M80 sits in the lower left of this photo. IC4596 (mag. 15.5) is the edge on spiral galaxy in the upper right. Other galaxies lie in between, the brightest of which is IC4600, a less well defined galaxy. Figure in Hawaiian mythology Sculpture of Maui capturing the sun Māui Snaring the Sun, pen and ink drawing by Arman Manookian, circa 1927, Honolulu Academy of Arts The fish-hook shape of the hei matau means to know, which holds that the North Island of New Zealand was once a huge fish that was caught by the great mariner Maui using only a woven line and a hook made from the jawbone of his grandmother. [2] Legend holds that the shape of Hawkes Bay is that of the hei matau, which caught in the fish's side on the beach. The Māori name for the North island, Te Ika a Maui ("The fish of Maui") reflects this legend.

These fish hooks were traditionally hand-carved from whale bones by fisherman as a tribute to the fact that the sea was a beautiful place and provided for all necessities, allowing the traditional Hawaiian people to be self-sufficient. Fishermen started making hooks out of wood, shells, precious stones, or even cattle bones once whales were declared a protected species. JPEG. NGC6124 (Caldwell 75) is an open cluster located 14.3° due south of Antares (Alpha Scorpii). Dreyer calls it bright (mag. 5.8), large (30'), fairly rich, little condensed, and with 100 individual stars shining from mags. 9-11. JPEG. NGC6302 (Caldwell 69) is the Bug Nebula. Located 4° west of Shaula (Gamma Scorpii), Dreyer calls this planetary pretty bright (mag. 13), elongated (2'x1') east-west. Don't let the dim magnitude fool you. There is a three magnitude difference here between visual magnitude, and the photographic magnitudes given here. Photograph from the Astronomical Images Archive. Westervelt, W. D. (1910).
