Description

VC200L/T3i DSLR. Originally labeled as Lukida (maybe in Celestron HC). Might be Lucida (which just means brightest star, of a constellation). The bottom left is more sparse of stars because this image is on the edge of the inner galactic plane (although to me that still doesn't explain why there are less visible stars there).

The more apparent name of this star is Beta Sagittae.

RA 19h 41m 02s

DEC 17:28:34

(as of 7/8/2016 4am CST)

This is near a common named star called Sham.

The B version is the full image I took, but the right side of the frame is pretty poor so I had cropped it out. But near the main star in the image is the double star of HD186224. Looking "down" (in my image) near that double star is another faint double.
