The goal of this challenge is to take the best screenshot to include the surface of a star in the given galaxy. The focus of the image can be anything, but it must include visible details of a star's surface. Brown dwarfs do not count, nor do black holes (which have no visible surface).
The galaxy to search in is RG 0-6-88820-1474
You must make your submission by 23:59 UTC on Tuesday 8 October.
Your submission must contain the place code (create in F6 menu) of the exact place, time, and camera angle from which you took your screenshot. You may only submit one screenshot. If you would like to change your submission after you have made it, simply edit your original post and replace the old submission with the new one.
The winner of the challenge will be chosen by popular vote. As soon as the submission period ends, the voting period will begin. The voting period will last for exactly 3 days. I will announce the winners after the end of the voting period.
All forum members are encouraged to vote on the submissions made by the participants. To vote, make a post in which you rate each entry on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the best. Challenge participants may not rate their own entry. Challenge participants may abstain from voting if they want to (you don't have to vote).
Before you start the challenge, please verify that your universe is consistent with the one most others are using by visiting the test planet below and making sure it is the same one that is posted here. If it is not, then you might have modified your SpaceEngine galaxy models from their original state. In that case, you might want to install a separate 0.9.7.0 for doing challenges with (you can skip the planet textures and spacecraft models to keep it small).

And as always remember to post about any really extraordinary things you find while doing your challenge in an appropriate thread (such as the image dump) and mention its location and that you found it while hunting for this challenge, as you could win an award for it.

If you want to use it in this challenge then you'll have to.
Okay. Here it is then, the files for the ship are in the attachments of this post. Includes model (CFG and SM), ship information for spacecrafts.cfg and the texture of the ship. (NOT MY MODEL!!!) I hope it works for everybody.
New Space Engine user here. I downloaded and installed the program about a week ago, then came here to sniff around, spotted this thread and thought this would be a nice way to get acquanted faster with SE. So I went ahead and spotted a few likely stars. Here's a screenshot of one of them. I call it
The Lamp
Or Sol no Cume da Montanha, but that's just for those who understand Portuguese.
