Picture of the month May 2022

[philjay]

Hope you will forgive the slightly earlier post this month, a bit busy over the next few days so any May images posted after this round up will be included in Junes round up.

 

The light nights are upon us again making astro a bit more challenging but some nocturnal types on here have been out grabbing photons, kudos to them, I need my sleep these days 😀, and have posted some quality images. So without further ado lets take a quick look:-

 

 

Comets meteors etc

Despite the light nights there has been quite a good bag of images this month with some excellent DSO images but the picture I lingered over the most was Ibbos set of solar images from the 14th of May.
