HIP23706
About this celestial object
As a catalog star, HIP 23706 marks a quiet fixed point in the winter field.
HIP designations come from the Hipparcos catalog, which delivered precise positions and distances for many stars—a foundation of modern astrometry.
About 31 minutes of exposure show the star and its faint surroundings; 56% relative humidity and the low altitude demanded transparent air.
At 250 mm and F/5, the field stays wide enough to include neighboring stars as a calm backdrop.
