Geocache Description:

*** Caution *** The Cache is not at the given coordinates, nor are they a good parking location.

I am a jewel in the Northern Crown. I'm sometimes called sigma, but the Smithsonian calls me 65165. If you look really close I'm actually three jewels that combine to shine at about 5.64. There are many sources for my location and you will have to do some fancy ciphering once you find one. To reduce the possibility of errors I rounded my location to the nearest second before I started to cipher. Oh and one more thing, remember that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So I don't burn you when you get my cache I have placed it 0°12.601' south and 1°16.223' west of my true position.

There's no need to go bushwhacking to get my cache, you can grab it with just a few steps from the paved trail. You will be looking for a cammo'd ammo can.
