Picture of the Month February 2018

Recommended Posts

The month started quite promising and folks were able to get out there but the wonderful weather has taken a turn lately but hopefully March will see a few more clear skies now galaxy season is with us.

Lots of quality images this month in this section so to keep the review to a sensible length I will slim it down a bit.

Widefield

There are 3 images in here this month all worth a mention

Sheila with Aurora from her snowy trip to Finland

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/13977-aurora-not-very-good-images/

and  ChrisPs shot over Dartmoor

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14057-widefield-view-over-dartmoor-national-park/

 

 

A difficult one this month due to all the quality images but the one that attracted me the most is Chris Ps widefield over Dartmoor. A nicely balanced and composed shot.
