On the evening of July 31, 2021, around 21:40, the Isnello (PA, Italy) sky was crossed by the International Space Station (ISS), visible for more than five minutes before it set in a south-easterly direction. At 21:44 the ISS found itself passing within 1 degree of one of the most interesting objects in the summer sky: the Veil Nebula (NGC 6960). A very rare circumstance that GAL Hassin wanted to capture with his wide-field telescope, the Galhassin Robotic Telescope 1 (GRT1), equipped with a 1.2 × 1.2 degree field of view capable of capturing both objects within a single image.
The image is the result of a single shot not calibrated of 30 seconds f/3.8 binning 2x2 pixel. Filter Luminance.
Author of the image: dr. Alessandro Nastasi (GAL Hassin)
