Steve, according the the sector archives (from GEnie) Denebola is
subsector L.  The entire sector looks like this:

    Alpha Crucis:
                A      Ximenes  C         D
                E      F        Orichalc  H
                I      J        K         Denebola
                M      N        O         Ziusudra

As you can see, only 4 of the subsectors have been named.

Definitely post your list, when it's done.

How difficult is it for a non-astronomy literate person (me) to determine
where *real* stars are w/ respect to the Imperium (or specific locations
therein)?  I have a need (for the about-to-restart) TML PBEM to be able
to tell PCs where certain recognizable (i.e. bright or unusual) stellar
objects are in respect to their own location.  (Unfortunately, I can't
go into any more detail without spoiling the plot!)
