Description

I've tried imaging the witches broom over 3 seasons and finally got a version I'm happy with.  This is a crop of a larger frame which I hope to combine into a larger mosaic.   One thing I was thrown by was the diffraction spike coming off 52 Cyg.    I found out after the fact that a super thin sliver of acetate from my flat panel had slipped on the lens.    Always something.....
