			The text also mentions a "drawing in the sand" which appears to be some form of star compass, which was then adjusted to show the positions of the stars in the sky. Eilers does show these at the bottom of p. 142. However, the star positions in the left-hand diagram don't seem to be in any meaningful order, even accounting for the fact that the cardinal directions might have been recored wrongly.
