Hello,

I have noticed quite a lot of these weird star patterns on stellarium. They are either long lines of faint stars or perfect circles of faint stars.

I can only remember where two of them are:

1. One is around megrez in ursa major. If you go to a field of view (located on the bottom toolbar) of about 0.300 you should be able to see a ring of stars.

2.Another is located to the left of M107 if you are viewing at midnight. These patterns are long lines of stars. You should be able to see them at a FOV of 0.900.

Does anyone know how these formed? And has anyone observed them?

Thank you
