About this image

Fairly bright. Visible to direct vision at x150 when the star looked like it had faint wings. This is probably why Herschel placed it in his class IV. The 10.5 mag star is right in the centre. There is some suggestion of a brigher spot next to the star. Possibly this is the actual core, or just an illusion. Very elongated.
