About this image

No Photography possible this evening due to Bonfires and Fireworks illuminating a misty sky. However on the 9th October I set out to try to obtain a photograph of the Summer Triangle but sky conditions early in the evening were poor. Later I returned but the haze persisted Pegasus was riding above the worst of the murk so as a consolation I took three shots of the sky encompassing Pegasus and retired . Tonight have stacked the frames and and cropped the image . printed it at A 4 divided the area within the square into 12 columns and counted the stars in each. In all 116 Stars detectable. With the naked eye only the main four stars of the square were plainly visible.
