philjay Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Seems like only last month I was doing this, time hasnt half shot by. Some great images this year from folks again which doesnt make my job easy but here goes. Just a recap, I wont add comments cos I waffled on in the actual month posts January Ibbo Bubble in HST https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/12598-ngc-7635-hst-palette/ February Brady Iridium Basin https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/12649-imbrium-basin/ unfortunately this image is no longer accessible.

And just like Alan Sugar on this years apprentice I am finding it really difficult to decide because I like both. But unlike Alan Sugar I can't rewrite the rules so there can be only one. Soooooo... phew this is difficult! OK I have flicked between the 2 for ages now using camera club competition judging techniques and I reckon the EMS Image of the Year 2017 is ................... pause for dramatic effect for 40 seconds.................................
