Doc Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) I've had a look through all entries submitted in April and have narrowed it down to the following. Thank you for all the entries it made my job pretty hard this month. DSO PhilJ's M3 only just scrapped into this months PoTM. A wonderful photo with which shows the globular off very well. The stars look great and there is quite a lot of colour. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11738-m3/ Another entry that just scrapped into Aprils pool of photo's is Graham's lovely M51 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11746-finally-managed-an-image-m-51-from-tonight-30042016/ . I like this one, it looks so natural and shows a lot of details. PhilJ and Dean Watson also gave us great examples of M51. StuartJPP submitted a fantastic M81 and M82, simply amazing as always. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11681-a-roundish-one-and-a-stick-shaped-one/ Staying on the subject of M81 and M82, another one of these marvels was submitted by Ibbo, once again very natural looking and it looked brilliant. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11698-another-8182/ Antares Paul gave us a wonderful IC5010 as a welcome back present and it worked, well done Paul. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11698-another-8182/ Bottletopburley gave us lovely photo's of M42, M13, and of course a rarely photographed image of the blue snowball. Lastly was a corker of an image by Johnnyaardvark of the Leo Triplet, awesome image. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11628-m13-and-leo-triplet/ LUNAR Four lunar entries this month and I would like to thank, PhilJ for his very colourful moon shot https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11704-colourful-moon/ Also like to thank Sunny Phil and Starman for there great images. DOUBLE STARS No images were entered PLANETARY No images were entered SKETCHING No images were entered SOLAR Another great month for solar imaging, Phil, Graham, and Ibbo are getting very good at this with so much practise. The stand out images in my mind are as follows: https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11629-up-close-to-the-proms/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11659-sol-10-4-2016-fd-ds-ha/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/11673-ar-2529-13th-april/ WIDEFIELD No images entered Firstly thankyou for everyone who submitted a photo, there was some great images but after a lot of thinking about it I'm awarding April's PoTM to Steve (Johnnyaardvark) for his wonderful Leo Triplet, well done Steve Edited May 1, 2016 by Doc red dwalf, Bottletopburly and philjay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
