Playing around with an artificial spider I made to create diffraction spikes
on brighter stars as a warm up for the main event of the evening which was
the Horsehead Nebula. The spider obviously works well. I like diffraction spikes
especially on wide field constellation shots where the spikes really point
out the main stars of the constellation among the swarms.
