The "goldish" bright (big) star near right side is the same star as the one circled in the picture at the very bottom of this page. |
Star Chart close-up showing Órlagh's Star. (based on the "Equatorial 2000" coordinates.)
This star is quite dim and would require to telescope to see with your eyes.
Actual Photograph of Ursa Minor showing star very near Órlagh's Star!
Órlagh's star is actually just above the circled star shown here. Circled star is visible in binoculars.
Only the brightest stars seen in this photograph can be seen with the unaided eye.
I obtained the maps from a planetarium program called TheSky6 from Software Bisque.
The photograph is one that I took on slide film many years ago when I was taking pictures of the constellations.
For those who want the details: Minolta SRT-101 with normal lens at f/2.8, on a fixed tripod,
30 second exposure, Kodak High Speed Ektachrome slide film at ASA 400.
Enjoy! Brad Timerson
