plus M45 deep

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16762-m45-the-pleiades/

 

I do like Ron Clarkes shot of Capella in the rain, purely because its a reminder of what we have all been through at some time.

Other stuff

Oh and I have to include Derbyshire Daves images of some of the EMS at Kelling

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16669-we-love-kelling-because/

 

 

 There have been some stonking images submitted this month so  - everyone, thanks for posting its great to see.

 

Now the difficult bit, choosing an image for POTM. After going through them all at least 3 times I reckon the choice is between Ibbos and Bottletopburlys M31s and ChrisPs M45. All good, plenty of data, subtle processing,       doh this isnt esy..... errrmm, hmmmm

 

OK, right, after another flip between images the POTM is M45 by ChrisP

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16762-m45-the-pleiades/

Why? Loads of data and  subtle processing.

There were some stunning images and it would from a dirty visual monkey's point of view be  difficult to separate them.

Congrats Chris, you certainly put the work in.

Many thanks to Phil for his time and effort too.
