No, not really, didn't have the info with us.  But from memory, there was a
"bright" one on the eastern edge, and a row of "fainter" ones on the
Northern.  A quick check of sky charts shows a 12.7 mag on the East edge,
and a
15.8, 14, 15.3, 15.7 mag on the N edge.  After downloading an image, this
does look like what Chuck and I were seeing.  As I *remember*, all the above
mentioned stars were easy with direct vision.  I just wish I had taken notes
and made a sketch.  I learned a lot from this little side trip, and next
dark skies I hit this summer, I'll have the S&T article at my disposal, and
I'll take better notes.....
