Maybe Desmos would be a good tool to create lots of these quickly?

This fab photo was taken by a Y10 pupil, using the South African Astro Observatory 1 m Telescope (Sept 14th, exposure time 120 seconds). It is NGC 7479 (also known as Caldwell 44 or the Superman Galaxy), a barred spiral galaxy 105 million light-years away!
