philjay Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 As if picking an image each month for POTM wasn't hard enough 😀 a picture of the year is even harder cos they are all outstanding images, and there has been some crackers this year. So lets just remind ourselves of the POTM images for 2019. To avoid boring everyone, I won't waffle on about each because I did that in the months round up, so here we go:- January 8472s double cluster https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15456-caldwell-14/ February Joe M81 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15496-the-galaxy-m81-first-light-with-200pds/ March Red Dwarfs Flaming Star https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15710-final-rendition-of-the-flaming-star-nebula-in-ha-and-sii/ April Ibbos M106 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/15800-m106-lrgb-more-data/ May ChrisP and NA/Pelican https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16020-n-america-and-pelican-nebula-in-haoiii-bi-colour/ June Grahams Crescent https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16233-crescent-neb-in-ha/ July ChrisP Crescent https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16277-ngc6888-the-crescent-nebula/ August Ibbos Squid https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16439-more-squidiness/ September Derbyshire Dave Elephants Trunk https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16627-elephant-trunk-narrowband/ October ChrisP M45 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16762-m45-the-pleiades/ November ChrisP Barnards loop etc https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16911-horsehead-flame-through-barnards-loop-to-the-boogeyman/ December Graham Rosette Hubble https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/17011-rosette-neb-in-hubble/ Just going through these again has reminded me just what a high standard of imaging there is in EMS, well done folks. However the rules say one has to be picked and going through them again I lingered on 2, Ibbos Squid and DerbyshireDaves Elephants Trunk and I then did my switching between the 2 to decide 🥁 🥁 🥁 and my vote for POTY 2019 is Ibbos Squid, well done Steve https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/16439-more-squidiness/ Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8472 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Nice work, Steve. I've experienced first hand how difficult a target the squid is and you've done a remarkable rendition of it. +Ibbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 They are all outstanding, but for sheer bloody mindedness and effort then it is a fair shout for the squid. Many congratulations Ibbo. Many thanks to all of our imagers who submit their work, it's all very much appreciated by us visual observers. +Ibbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
