Look up table to all Nakshatras captured using mobile astrophotography
After I shared my Nakshatra series work with some of my well wishers, I got a feedback from them that medium makes it difficult to see what has been read and what has not been read. I recommended to them an easier way they can keep track and that would be at the least clap once for any post that they have read ;-) , hey, I did not mean just mine, any story they come across in medium, and not even all the 50 claps that medium actually allows ;-)which would certainly be a very kind gesture and encouraging for the writer, but well, yes, not all like to follow that easy method :-).
So, some of them requested that I create a look up table for all the Nakshatra stories in one post and pin it too. That way, they would read each one of them every day and can share the story with their kids too. But, before I go into that, I have to thank my kindhearted support system who sailed along in this project — Aarthi Ramprasad, Suchi , Dhans, Nandakumar K and Udhay sir. Thanks to each one of you. :-)
Now taking into account the very valuable suggestions I got, here we go.
