Last week at the Nebraska Star Party, I did a quick star count in and

around
the head of Draco and checked the stars visible against the data in

Megastar.
One very faint star I detected surprised me, as it turned out to be
magnitude 7.59!


Hi David,
Would you describe that star as being constantly visible, or as popping in
and out of vision during your count?
