2300 AD Project Bayern Hyades Cluster

[CJBeiting]

One of the interesting additions to the Project Bayern supplement for 2300 AD over the first edition is all of the stuff it has added to the Bayern mission, particularly the side mission to the Hyades cluster. The Hyades part is particularly interesting given the fact that, unlike the Pleides Cluster, the Hyades Cluster is old enough to have formed planets that Travellers are able to explore--and, indeed, have to, in order to uncover the dark secret at the heart of the Hyades.

So I was a little surprised to discover that, while Project Bayern provides a good map for the contents of the Pleides Cluster, it doesn't have anything anywhere near as detailed for the Hyades Cluster.

Is there another possible map of the objects in the Hyades Cluster out there on the net anywhere? Any suggestions someone with more astronomy knowledge than I possess could provide would be welcome.

The first thing that comes to mind is that the Hyades is (are?) far enough away that present surveys are probably both incomplete and imprecise, and dispersed enough that transit between the bright stars is going to depend on lots of Ks and Ms whose, again, existence and location are not nailed down.
