Some superb images this month folks, thanks for posting, making my job to choose one a difficult one but one image I keep going back to because of the composition putting the DSO in context to its surroundings in our sky is ChrisPs Crescent nebula, so thats my choice for July 2019 POTM, a super image that Chris.

Oh, can I just ask folks to make sure their links to images are working if you would like it included in the POTM summary, if I can't open the link because its been moved or has been delete I cant really include it.
