Diamond Ring

<

Nearly at the North Celestial Pole, there is an asterism resembling a ring with a diamond. The precious stone is the North Star (Polaris) itself. It is further composed of stars ranging from 6th to 9th magnitude. It extends into the neighboring constellation Cepheus.

VIC: Visible in every season, and though a bit stretched and cracked, the polar ring is worth targeting with binoculars.
