Hardly seen at 55x. Got a better view at 110x. One bright star with surrounding dimmer stars that only realy come into view while using AV.

A few brighter stars hold an anchor point to what must be a larger collection of smaller dimmer stars. AV is not necessary, but really helps the dimmer stars pop into view. The dimmer stars seem to produce a very subtle glow which forms the shape of tree branches, or a river delta. I attempted to capture the subtlety and shape of this glow in the sketch.
