Caption: Figure 1.

A TESS Sector 11 image colored by flux (see color bar) on top of a DSS image (gray scale). The red circle indicates TOI 1227, and the red box indicates the TESS aperture used for Sector 11 (the aperture varied between sectors). The TESS point-spread function in this region has an FWHM of approximately 1.9 TESS pixels. The large TESS point-spread function combined with a faint source meant that there were high levels of contamination around TOI 1227.
