What is causing the diffraction spikes?

I have never seen this object, but I think I will have to look it up now!

Later,

Jed.

Fishing Wire !!! :P and some good old fashioned tape - works for me ! The spikes are nice and thin.

Make sure you have a look at it, it's a few degrees under Albireo, beta cygni.
Brilliant cluster ! with binoculars, can't wait to have a look through my new 20x90's

:P
