.....an array of stars that looks like an upside down question mark? I think
it's near Altair? I know its a bright star, Mag 1-2 and its diagonally up
right from Mars. I cannot find it on my starchart. It looks like this
through an 8" scope with a 20mm EP:

If i read my dials correctly it was located at Dec 84
and RA 18hrs.

I'm sorry i can't be more specific. I couldn't find it with the naked eye
(literally) so i am quite puzzled.

Any help appreciated.

TIA
