About this image

Looking at the Forum Postings I read the item re S Corona Borealis at Maximum. On the night of the 22nd June after an evening watch for NLC I idly decided to image the constellation of Corona Borealis . Just using the fixed Tripod and press and pray as they used to say in the Horley Camera Club where I started learning Photography almost 60 years ago now. Checking my images I realised that the Variable star S Corona B may be in the frame. So here is a very enlarged small section of a frame showing the Variable . I felt it was Like finding the Silver Sixpence in the Xmas Pudding . A Joy. After all when all said and done Astronomy must be fun for all to enjoy at any age.

Interestingly the planetarium overlay fails to spot it, perhaps normally below the limiting magnitude set ?
