Picture of the Month August 2022

[philjay]

The nights have started to stretch out again and there has been a good few clear nights this month so most of us have been able to get out under the stars again. Consequently the images posted have increased and there has been some excellent stuff posted, the bar is constantly being raised on EMS image wise, great stuff.

 

So because there has been so many images posted the round up is going to have to be a precis again, otherwise this round up will be miles long.

 

Comets, Asteroids etc

Glafnazur caught a perseid

I,m sure you will agree that there has been some fine images posted this last month, not an easy task to choose just one I can tell you. There was a few that made me go Wow and one in particular made me wow all the more and that is Bob Dobbers Crescent in HOO, a fine first light with a new scope.
