philjay Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Happy New Year to everyone I hope you have all had a good time and got lots of astro related stuff to play with. So off we go with the usual format of a précis of the images submitted for December 2018, there's been a lot of great images posted this month but I have to keep the round up a sensible length. Deep Sky Objects Graham kicked off the months DSOs with an IC410 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15295-hubble-ish-ic-410/ One object I've never been able to get on with for some reason either visually or imaging is M78 and Ibbo did it justice here https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15307-m78-lrgb/ Ibbo also gave us an LRGB of M33 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15309-m33-lrgb/ ChrisP. gave us a lovely shot of the Triffid of the North https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15308-ngc1579-the-trifid-nebula-of-tnorth/ he also had a go at M78 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15345-m78-a-work-in-progress-happy-christmas-everybody/ also Chris posted this close up of the Soul https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15358-ic1871-inside-the-soul-nebula-first-light-on-the-stc-duo-narrowband-filter/ Comets, Asteroids, Meteors and Meteorites Well there must have been a Comet around cos theres lots of photos this month J 8472 got the first one in https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15327-imaging-my-first-comet-46pwirtanen/ Bassighamobservatory gave us a few shots of it passing M45 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15337-comet-46p-wirtanen/ ChrisP gave us a shot of the pair here https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15331-comet-46pwirtanen-whizzing-past-m45/ andyboy1970 also captured the Comet and M45 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15332-comet-46p-wirtanen-and-m45-the-pleiades-cluster/ Graham got his meteor detector up and running and has been getting some hits https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15361-nice-hit-on-the-detector-this-morning/ Lunar No lunar this month Planetary Bottletopburly managed a shot of Uranus https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15292-uranus-wide-field/ Solar Ibbo gave us a few shots this month to remind us there is still a sun up there https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15313-sol-7-12-2018-ha/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15318-sol-ha-9-12-2018/ Graham was out there as well https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15333-solar-from-today-16122018/ Widefield A comet and M45 shot from Sunnyphil https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15335-comet-and-m45/ So, quite a lot of images to get my teeth into this month and as ever it isn't easy some pictures for the round up let alone one picture for the title of POTM, however after deliberating and revisiting various images I reckon the image that does it for me this month is......... IC1871 by Chris P. I was immediately taken with this image, good colour and contrast and went back to it a couple of times, I would like to see a higher resolution image, I do think it's lost some in compression for posting but even so it stands on its own as it is I reckon. Nice one Chris the Hypersta is working well. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15358-ic1871-inside-the-soul-nebula-first-light-on-the-stc-duo-narrowband-filter/ Bottletopburly, andyboy1970, Chris P. and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
