Weather wise this month has certainly had variety, from the clear nights and hot days at the beginning of the month to the traditional wet British summer we are more used to. So the images this month have reflected this turn in the weather so well done for all those who gathered photons whilst the skies were clear.

Despite the weather there have been some great images, thanks for posting folks. There is one image I keep going back to and thats Ibbos M101 taken with his dual rig. The depth of detail and colour really make this image, add to that subtle processing and it's a corker, well done Steve.
