[APML] Another Overlay - M57

["Kevin Wigell" <kwemail@twcny.rr.com>]

Yes, I know, I'm getting carried away with sky chart overlays, but now that
I've figured out how to do it, it's so much fun!

This is an image I took a couple months ago of M57, now with an overlay from
The Sky. I turned on star magnitude labels for every star in The Sky in this
region. Is this too distracting?

What I find most interesting about this is that there are about 4 or 5
"stars" visible in my image that do not appear in The Sky. Are they:
1.    Dust? (They don't look like dust to me)
2.    Asteroids? (4 or more in this small area - doesn't seem likely)
3.    Stars that didn't make it into The Sky's database for some reason
(seems most likely to me)
4.    Novea? (>4 in this small area - I don't think so)
