Sonyme Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Is there a technical reason why the bright star centre right looks stretched whilst the other stars in the field look pretty round? Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApophisAstros Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Maybe some nebulosity in front of it? Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger I was curious so I checked my own images, I think it's two bright stars close enough not to resolve fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApophisAstros Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 If you look at the one with fewer stars it looks like two stars , i agree. Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazAstro Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Agreed, I'd say it's a binary star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
