Western Veil Nebula NGC 6960
Exercise No. 1 for your smart telescope
This photo was taken by my Celestron Origin Astrograph on September 28th, 2024 at 9:24 p.m. The exposure and total integration times were 10 seconds and ~ 40 minutes, respectively. This is the png file directly from origin with no post-processing.
I have identified 30 stars of interest in my image (see list below). They are arranged by visual magnitude. Your job is to capture a similar star field with your smart telescope and find all of these stars in your photograph.
