philjay Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hope you all had a Happy Christmas and best wishes and clearer skies for 2018 Nights were longer and folks were able to get out some more despite the weather so here goes, precis version again due to the number of images this month: Comets, Asteroids, Meteors etc Orion continued his quest for the unusual and captured Asteroid Phaethon https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13798-asteroid-phaethon/ nice work as ever Derek Deep Sky Objects A good close up of the Wizard from Sheila https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13758-close-in-on-wizard-ngc7380/ plus a shot of the Spider and Fly https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13771-some-data-from-tonight-spider-and-fly/ A nice Horsehead from Ibbo in Ha https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13755-ic434/ plus a Rossette in Ha https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13811-rosette-in-ha/ andyboy1970 gave us a close up of M33 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13760-m33-work-in-progress/ Bassinghamobservatory submitted a nice Bubble https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13764-ngc7635-bubble-nebula/ Stuartjpp gave us a nice shot of NGC1333 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13824-ngc1333/ 8472 gave us an M31 using his new Staradventurer https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13850-m31-wymeswold-271217/ a creditable image from this set up. Reddwarf has been putting time in on one of his favourite subjects the Horse Head nebula https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13846-4-hours-40-minutes-of-ha-on-the-horse-head-nebula/ 4 hours and 40 minutes in Ha is an achievement considering UK weather. and to round the year off Graham gave us some hard to capture spaghetti https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13863-sh2-240-wip/ Lunar A nice sharp image from Bino-Viewer https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13852-another-lunar-281217/ I like the this image from 8472 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13849-waxing-gibbous-281217/ Solar Despite the weather and low altitude a few solar images were posted from the usual protagonists Some nice proms on Ibbos image here from the 1st https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13751-sol-1-12-2017-ha/ and here from the 11th https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13783-sol-11-12-2017-ha/ and the 26th shows some nice activity https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13838-sol-26-12-2017-ha/ Graham gave us one from the 16th https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13793-solar-from-today-16122017/ and the 26th https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13836-solar-from-today-26122017/ Widefield Alec gave us a shot of M45 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13795-m45/ Sunny Phil managed the Auriga Clusters https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13796-auriga-clusters/ Again not an easy one to judge due to the number of quality images posted but the one that sticks out for me is the full frame shot of NGC1333 by stuartjpp. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13824-ngc1333/ Why? I like the detail and colours plus I am fascinated by dark nebula and this has loads in it. A good subject nicely captured and processed red dwalf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
