philjay Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Picture of the Month March 2018 What a mix of weather March gave us but despite the snowy and freezing conditions some brave souls have been out there catching photons. Again a précis round up this month so apologies if you're not mentioned. Deep Sky Theres been a couple of M42s this month making the most of Orion before he gets too low Mitt https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14091-m42/ and dave.hardy2 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14138-m42/ Ibbo has been using the QS690 for a few test shots showing us a few galaxies in the process, I like the triplet https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14107-leo-trip-test-shot/ and then gave a stonking shot of the Rosette in HOS and SOH, the HOS gets my vote. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14133-ngc-2237/ Graham finished his project on Sh2-240 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14124-finally-finished-sh2-240-mosaic/ very nice Graham I like dave.hardy2 s M1 here https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14145-m1-the-crab/, good colour, detail and fov, puts it all in context. Lunar A few images this month, well done folks Quite taken with Alec s More Luna here https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14165-more-luna/ Hats off to Ibbo for getting an ISS transit https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14172-luna-iss-transit-23-5-2018-22-41-gmt/ Solar Weather has been a bit inclement to say the least but Ibbo used his microclimate to bag a couple https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14102-sol-7-3-2018-ha/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14104-sol-8-3-2018-ha/ Widefield I like the EMS meeting images from Orion, good one Derek https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14146-ems-meeting-24-25-february-2018/ So my vote this month goes to dave.hardy2 and his M42 here https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14138-m42/ Why, detail and colour are all there. Nicely processed with the trapezium showing nicely, good one Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
