Picture of the Month July 2022

[philjay]

It's always nice to have summer weather but with it comes lighter nights but thankfully we have had some sunshine so we have got some cracking solar images posted. But despite the reduced darkness we have had some belting night time images posted.

So without further ado:-

 

Comets etc....

Graham posted his review of Junes hits on his meteor detector

Sorry Steve but your M12 and M20 RGB images wasnt there so couldnt include them.

Some lovely colours shown in his M17 in SHO

 

Bob Dobber gave us a nice deep M57 care of the NSO, and no it isnt cheating Bob its just remote imaging 🙂

Planetary

Nice to see the planets coming back

Solar

Because we had such a good run of clear days a corresponding amount of solar images have been posted so here is a precis of the excellent images that Ibbo and Graham have posted this month.

 

Ibbo

Kicked off the month from the great outdoors

Widefield

Derbyshire Dave gave us a MW shot pano

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/21774-a-quick-milky-way-pano/

and a holiday shot

https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/21780-isle-of-wight-milky-way/

 

Some excellent images this month I am sure everyone will agree, so now the unenvyable task of choosing just one, hmm, this may take awhile......

 

I think Ibbos image of the sun from the 16-7-22 is superbly processed giving an even more etherial feel to a solar image and the added bonus of a monster prom takes it for me this month I reckon.
