philjay Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Well who would of thought it, clear sunlit and starlit skies in the UK? Its been more like the med these past weeks than dear old blighty and you folks have taken advantage of the conditions which is great to see. Apologies for the second late POTM roundup but holidays beckoned J Deep Sky Ibbo started the Deep Sky off this month with a belter of an image of the galaxy NGC6946, great to see the 132 performing so well. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14513-ngc-6946/ and a very detailed Crescent nebula in Ha with the same scope https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14623-ngc-6888-ha/ A nice Tulip (SH2 101) from Graham in Ha https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14483-sh2-101/ A good start by Alec on M13 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14549-m13/ and a nice M92 with his new pier https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14591-m92-first-test-on-the-home-made-pier/ Chris P used itelescope in Nerpio Spain to go for M51 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14570-m51-taken-from-t18-itelescopenet-in-spain/ and then the Triffid from Aus https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14600-m20-the-triffid-nebula/ I had a go with ngc3586 with itelescope in Aus https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14585-ngc3586-wip-restart/ Brady gave us a nicely coloured Elephants Trunk https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14613-updated-trunk-image/ and a pelican https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14617-pelican-nebula/ 8472 posted this image of the NA and Pelican in widefield but I think it deserves a place in DSO. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14595-220618-north-america-pelican-nebulae/ A good image with a 250mm lens and unguided. Lunar Bottletopburly gave us an 88% moon https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14611-moon-88/ ibbo gave us a 1st quater with the Tak 102 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14627-luna-21-6-2018/ Planetary A nice sharp Saturn shot from Ibbo A first from Alec with his Jupiter https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14631-jupiter-first-ever-picture/ Brady gave us a double with Jupiter and saturn https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14640-jupiter-saturn/ Solar Ibbo has made the most of the sunshine giving us 11 images, these are my g=faves https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14553-sol-14-6-2018-ha/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14625-sol-27-6-2018-ha-7-pane-mosaic/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14630-sol-28-6-2018-ha/ Graham took time out from building his monster scope to give us a shot https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14510-solar-from-today-02062018/ Widefield I like binoviewers southern stars image, very atmospheric https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14545-a-few-southern-stars/ Peter Shah gave us a breathtaking image of the Milky Way over the Herschel Telescope https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14562-milky-way-over-the-william-herschel-telescope/ wow what a view. So to round up I have 2 images which do it for me, there is Peter Shahs Milky Way over the Herschel and there is 8472s image of the NA and pelican. Whilst Peters image is gob smacking and I just wished I could get to see those skies I reckon the POTM for June goes to 8472 with an unguided image of the NA and Pelican using a 250mm telephoto on a Staradventurer mount. For that combo this is a really good image and shows what can be done with classic lenses and a staradventurer, well done Kev. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/14595-220618-north-america-pelican-nebulae/ Bottletopburly, +Ibbo and andyboy1970 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
