philjay Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Picture of the month April 2019 Another month and quite a few postings this month which is great, keep em coming.

The one that stands out for me this month is Ibbos close up and personal shot of M106. Why, detail, colour and image scale. It isnt easy to image at F10 and this image is a credit to Steves technique. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15800-m106-lrgb-more-data/ Bottletopburly and BAZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
