philjay Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Sorry for the delay folks but have been a bit pre occupied and only just got round to this. So forgive if I dont do a full round up of everyone's images this month, I will pick a few out of each category and then do the final image. Back to normal service next month hopefully. Comets, Asteroids etc Some good asteroid work from Orion at the start of the month https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13357-asteroid-florence-3-sept-2017/ and https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13378-rare-occultation-of-a-5th-magnitude-star-by-an-asteroid-visible-from-uk-on-sept-910-early-sunday-morn/ Deep sky There were some stunners this month. Some corkers from Kelling as well so well done folks. 2 I liked were Allan the plumbers Bubble in Narrowband https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13466-bubble-from-kelling-narrowband/ and Grahams NGC6820 and 6823 with new set up https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13352-ngc-6820-and-6823-in-ha-with-new-set-up/ Lunar Perkil8r was back in the saddle with a nice shot https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13384-luna-838-waining-gibous-10092017/ Solar Quite a few images again this month all of them good Perkil8r s whte light full discs from the 4th was nice https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13356-sol-in-wl-04092017/ and Ibbos Ha from the 6th showed spectacular detail around the ARr https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13370-sol-6-9-2017-ha/ An interesting comparison between white light of Mikes and Ha of Steves. there The inverted image on Ibbos Ha from the 29th just fascinates me with different types of activity, https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13467-sol-28-9-2017/ So on to the POTM, hmm as usual a really difficult one to decide on because of the exceptional images. When I first started doing this I was advised to look at the images that make you go wow and the ones listed above have all done that but the one that made me go WOW is the inverted solar full disc of ibbos from the 28th. Why? Because of the contrast and detail pulled out by subtle processing plus Steve has selected and mastered his kit to be able to get a stunner of an image like this. Well done Orion, +Ibbo and +RonC 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
