Widefield A nice Lagoon from wolfmann_55 using one of itelescopes TAK106s https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13051-lagoon-nebula-and-friends/ So without further ado the Picture of the Month this month goes to Graham with his NGC 6820 and NGC 6823, https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13098-ngc-6820-and-ngc-6823-from-tonight-20062017/ I like this picture. It's not a target I have seen very often, it's taken and processed well and my hat goes off to Graham for the stamina required to take so many interesting pics for us in what is one of the most difficult months to image. Nice ones folks, keep em coming. Orion and Tweedledee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Well done Graham. I really like that particular DSO. So much of interest in that pic. Graham was up against some stiff competition from everyone else as well as all his other entries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
