Covers of stacky curves and limits of plane quintics

Abstract: We construct a well-behaved compactification of finite covers of a stacky curve using admissible cover degenerations. Using our construction, we compactify the space of tetragonal curves on Hirzebruch surfaces. As an application, we explicitly describe the boundary divisors of the closure in overlineM6 of the locus of smooth plane quintic curves.
