Description

I had somewhat larger plans for this image.  After stacking the first couple nights of data I noticed a nice bit a diffraction from Phecda spilling into the image.  I thought it might be neat to do a mosaic including the very bright star but it was too obvious which panels had much less integration by looking at the number of stars.  It didn't quite work out so I cropped tighter and tried to include as much of Phecda's diffraction as possible.
