    Star pattern in Ursa Major

    Hello Everybody,
    On friday the 19th March i have Observed an Star pattern in Ursa Major and looks like an Arrow.

    At first i only saw an Triangel and after Looking a while I saw an Arrowhead.
    It was easily to observe but indirect.
    Then I have looked if I saw the back of the arrow with the characteristic feather.
    It’s look not perfect.
    I have observed with my 60/800 Refractor.

    Now I have the question: Has somebody observed that star pattern bevor me or is that my first object which I have found?

    Here’s the scan of the sketch:

    And Here is a stellarium finder chart witch I have made after my observation.

    I hope for Feedback and an Answer for my Question.

    Clear Skies,
    Lukas

    Hi , I believe the asterism you have seen, is the asterism known as the Spade in Ursa Major if it is 1.6 degrees Southwest of Phi Ursae Majoris.

    Hello Raul,
    I’ve got looked after these asterism and I think that my wasn’t the spate. Because the position doesn’t fits with mine.

    I’ve got found these stars and processed my star chart.
