M27 image - silly questions...

[Hallingskies]

Just a couple of (probably daft) questions about this otherwise rather average image of M27 I put together last week.  

Firstly, there's a rather nice cascade of 12th magnitude stars just to the south of 14 Vulpeculae (the yellow star at the top of the image).  I suppose such asterisms are ten-a-penny, but it seemed quite striking: it rather resembles a sea-horse.  I couldn't find a record of it anywhere, but I just wondered if anyone knows if it has a formal ID as a "recognised" cluster?  

Also, I noticed that some of the brighter stars above (such as 14 Vulpeculae) appear to have faint diffraction spikes.  I don't have a problem with that but as the scope is an Esprit 100, I just wondered where they are coming from!

Rather better than average I’d say..     are you using a KAF8300 camera? If so the spikes are caused by the micro lenses on the sensor.  If not then I’ve no idea but would be interested in knowing

Good thinking, but no, it’s an Atik 460.  Should’ve said...
