I am very impressed first by your noticing such a tiny difference among tens of thousand of stars in the photo, second by your sincere efforts searching databases and not only identifying but also specifying the type of the Star. I have no such talent. 😂
Thanks Katsumi-san. As a scientist, it is fairly accepted that studying the oddities or outliers can sometimes be the most productive. Such is the case here; it motivated me to learn more about Red Giant Stars. Clear skies!
I too, am an amateur astrophotographer. But I consider my expertise to be at the novice level. I thoroughly enjoyed your research into that curiously bright red star and coming to a convincing conclusion about its true nature. Perhaps in the near future, more capable space-based infrared telescopes, specifically JWST, will have the opportunity to train its high precision instruments and spectrometers (NIRSPEC and MIRI) to study its true nature. Could this star be a Population II or perhaps one of the long-sought Population III first generation stars. Anyway, you’ve certainly shown the value of amateur astrophotography to all. Thank you.
Hi Greg. This video was kind of my "geeking out" on a seemingly minor observation. But I am very pleased that others, like you, found it interesting and worthwhile. I am likely to do more sifting through the stars in the future to see what else I can find that is a bit unusual. It's a nice distraction when the skies are not conducive to long hours of imaging. Anyhow, thanks for watching! Clear skies!
A fascinating investigation! Thank you
Thanks Melvyn. Good to have you on board with Astrophotography Japan!
Paul, Very nice video Interesting, educational, well-done. You are a true astro sleuth. Keep up the good work. Phil C
Thanks bro!
This was great fun to watch!
Educational for me! Lot of research.
To do the research is a good opportunity to learn! Looking forward to our next video.

I need a little break. But I am attending an event in Fukushima next weekend that might be some good content!
Safe travels and a good time in Fukushima!@@jpastroguy
very interesting, bravo
Grazie, Massimo! Clear skies!
