About this image

Deep Sky Section's object of interest for June. Minkowski 1-64 is the tiny planetary nebula at the centre of the frame. So tiddly that I felt I had to put the magnified view at the bottom left so we could see some of its structure. North is up and west to the right.

Good decision. The central star is now readily visible. What magnitude is it?

At least the satellite trails kept a respectful distance.
