Quick guide for anyone just joining us:

* Go to http://www.neopets.com/altador/tomb.phtml (the little building on the main Altador map in the bottom left corner)
* Click on the dots on the door. If you can't click, view the source code and find your special url and go to it
* The door lights will light up. Now go to the Archives and visit the Lenny
* After visiting the Lenny, get your new star data
* View the sky and find the constellation (of course, using Dark's program will help you. It looks like most of ours was smack dab in the middle of the page)
* Use the pen, and not the fingers, to connect the dots with 2 separate lines
* You will get the Congrats message, and when you click continue, you will see the eyes
* The Lenny now says something different, and you get more pages in the book. The Astronomy club also congratulates you, and the Janitor is mad, as usual.
* When you look at the crystals above the Dark Faerie, you will see they are now different, too

Anyone know if they're always all white star combinations or can they be any kind of star?

So that is it???

We find one constellation and that is it? That is a pretty small update LOL

Am I the only one having insane difficulty finding the sleeper's constellation in the sky? I've clicked on the tomb doors, and I've talked to the lenny about it...am I missing something, or am I just really bad at finding this?

Thanks for posting that, I cut your constellation out and ran it over my own map in Photoshop and finally found mine. I was going nuts trying to find it, sure it wasn't there! You saved me :D

My star data did change, so if anyone is stuck, try getting fresh star data. I retrieved it after the news came out today, didn't find a thing and went back to get it again to find it had changed.

Here's my found constellation, only one star was colored, but I hear they can be totally mixed.

So... we found the Sleeper on the door to a Tomb - a place where the dead "sleep".

Any chance that the Gladiator will be found in the arena in the north part of town? Or the First to Rise in those sunbeams in the sky. Yay grasping at straws and reading things into clues! ^^;

Also... it was the first constellation found, and the month of sleeping is January. If the next one is, indeed, the First to Rise (Feb = Month of Awakening), I shall be having a closer look at that being "coincidence" or not.

Just a thought

If you think you have it but it keeps saying no that is not a constellation, do NOT add star. Connect the first three in a line, connect the second three in a line..do NOT connect the two lines together. That doesn't work.

If you're having trouble finding the constellation just looking at your map try what I did:) Make sure you've talked to the archivist, then get your star data. Put it into word and replace | with ^p and , with ^t, then copy this into excel. Sort your columns using the Y column. Now look for Y coordinates that are the same (they'll be right next to each other now). When you find a pair look at the X value. You want Xs that are either 200, 120, or (oops, forgot the last difference...). This will be your constellation!

any colors. I've got 2 red, 2 yellow, a white, and a blue- random colorwize.

In other news-
Hey, I was right! The starmaps DID change with the update.

Yay! Finally found it. Now we're rolling...

Tue Mar 28, 2006 3:41 am

Well it only officially started today (with the opening of the Hall of Heroes).

Thanks for all the help. This is going to be really fun.

165#137,165;177,135#217,135;257,165#257,

Anyone else have "#" signs in their new star data? I don't remember having that in my old map info.

I suppose for future constellations it's safe to suspect that if the Sleeper's constellation is found at the RESTIVE Tomb, then later constellations may have similar connections to other places around Altador.
