PotM August 2016

Well i was quite surprised by how many images had been posted.  I expected an easy job this month :lol:  Did not happen

 

most of the images were DSO's with some widefield and some solar.  At least the sun showed up for some of the timw :)

 

Ibbo was prolific as usual with tests on the TS71 , IC1318 and an extremely good set of solar images at the end of August.  The 30.8.2016 set were really good

 

Brady gave a very nice rendition of the Andromeda Galaxy

 

Graham must have had the best of the weather down there as he gave us loads of images of the Pelican nebula, Crescent, Brromstick, IC1318 and M33 and some solar too

 

Stuart JPP produced a very nice image of vdB152, not an easy subject to tackle

 

Silentrunning gave an excellent rendition of the Cygnus wall

 

Brady a nice image of the Pacman nebula

 

and Philjay back at the scope with M33 and snapshots of Andromeda, M13, M27 and the Veil.

 

A very nice widefiled of CAS to Cyg from bassinghsmobservatory and Star trails from Sunny Phil

 

 

Difficult to pick between some of the images but there can only be one winner, so I have to chose.

 

It has to be Graham's mosaic of the pelican nebula   

 

 

 

well done Graham

Congratulations Graham, a nice image.

Thanks to all the other cloud dodgers imagers who contributed, here's to some quality skies for the darkening nights.

Thanks Sheila for the round up. :)
