This image is the sum of a time resolved sequence (6 sec subs) of an exoplanet star. What was interesting was the faint glow near the star on all frames, so stacked 300 frames. It is a distant compact galaxy group, the largest member ( dont know if its in the foreground) is PGC 2362940, identified from the SDDS. Possibly further away than the UMa group judging from the size of its members. A deeper image is indicated.
