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:
4264

And Here is a stellarium finder chart witch I have made after my observation.
4263

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.
