Picture of the Month July 2017

Recommended Posts

The onus seems to be on DSO and Solar this month as the planets are a little unfavourable at the moment and despite the lack of astronomical darkness and clear skies folks have been out there imaging, well done to all.

 

Deep Sky

I started the month off with NGC6559

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13131-ngc6559/

then followed later with one of my favourite areas https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13183-ic-4604-rho-ophiuchi-nebula/

 

I do like Ibbos Astro Pixel Processor renditions his NGC1499 image shows loads of delicate detail.

Theres tons of detail and depth in his NA and Pelican mosaic here

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13189-nan-peli-and-ic5068-6-pane-mosaic/

which was closely followed bi a bicolour of the same region

Steve has also given us the Veil in Ha

plus witches broom section in bi colour

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13232-witches-broom-bi-colour-2-pane-mosaic/

and a stunner of the Veil in bi colur

Stash was busy with deep sky also with an unguided NA here

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13133-nlc-2-7-2017/

its neighbour the Pelican

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13225-ic1396-9-x-60sec-x-iso800-plus-darks-live-stack-screen-capture/

a bit of the Veil complex

a dwarf galaxy NGC185

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13237-ngc185-dwarf-spheroidal-galaxy-july-27-2017/

and galaxy NGC7331

Even I managed a couple this month

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13191-ar2665/

 

 

Widefield

Ibbo gave some NLCs here

 

POTM

There was one clear winner in my view this month, although others came pretty close and that is Ibbos mosaic of the Veil in bi colour, although his NA and Pelican bi colour were a close second.

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13246-veil-bi-colour-4-pane-mosaic/

Congrats Steve, a nicely processed mosaic with loads of subtle detail.
