philjay Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The lighter nights are upon us again as summer gets closer but despite that there has been quite a few folks out there till the small hours gathering photons. Deep Sky Ibbo gave us a close up of M101 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15965-m101-l/ and an M13 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15994-m13-mono-question/ and he is making cracking progress with the Cats Eye https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16063-ngc-6543-o3-ha-ha/ ChrisP went in close to M13 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15978-m13-the-great-cluster-in-hercules/ plus some wide shots with the new Redcat https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15981-sadr-region-and-crescent-nebula-in-narrowband-haoiii/ and https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16020-n-america-and-pelican-nebula-in-haoiii-bi-colour/ DerbyshireDave had a go at M101 also https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15980-m101-lrgb/ and a narrowband Soul here https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16064-soul-nebula-in-narrowband/ Joe gave us an M82 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16003-current-progress-on-m82/ Lunar Ibbo gave us a big mosaics https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15992-luna12-5-2019-4-pane-mosaic/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16004-luna-13-5-2019-3-pane-mosiac/ . Graham was testing the new build scope out with some close ups https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15995-up-close-and-personnel-with-mr-blobby/ Planetary Ibbo was up early for Jupiter and Saturn https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16009-early-morning-planets-15-5-2019/ Graham gave us a murky Jupiter https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16093-jupiter-through-the-murk/ Solar The Sun showed a bit more activity this month and folks were out there bagging it. Ibbo showed the progress of a good sized AR https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15951-sol-7-5-2019-ha/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15996-sol-13-5-2019/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15986-sol-12-5-2019/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16010-sol-15-5-2019-ha/ then it was back to quiet https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16060-sol-23-5-2019-ha/ Graham baged the AR as well https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15979-glorious-morning-for-sun-bothering/ Widefiled ChrisP gave us a very widefield of the Sadr region in Ha as his first light with the Redcat https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15942-sadr-to-the-crescent-nebula-and-first-light-with-the-redcat-51/ SunnyPhil bagged Mellotte 20 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15933-melotte-20/ Some great images this month despite the lighter nights. After much deliberation I reckon the Picture of the Month for May 2019 goes to ChrisP and the NA and Pelican. Nice image scale and depth. Thats a good scope you have there Chris and with the Star Adventurer as well that is good going. https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16020-n-america-and-pelican-nebula-in-haoiii-bi-colour/ tuckstar, Chris P. and BAZ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
