philjay Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 First POTM of the year and a nice show to see this month, Comet C/2022 E3 is making an appearance. This plus a few clear patches makes for a good lot of postings, great stuff. Comets etc The above mentioned comet is the star of the show for obvious reasons and there have been some good captures: Ibbo started the ball rolling https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22295-comet-2022-e3-ftz-22-1-23/ Megallan Boy https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22304-comet-c2022-e3-ztf-on-the-30th-january-2023/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22310-comet-c2022-e3-ztf-on-the-31st-january-2023/ Graham https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22309-comet-c2022-e3-ztf-on-its-travels-on-the-night-of-the-31st-jan-2023/ Derbyshire Dave https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22308-that-comet-comet-c2022-e3-ztf/ Bottletopburly https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22312-comet-c2022-e3/ Deep Sky There was a lot posted this month so here is just a precis with one pic per poster Clive https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22238-m45/ Chris P https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22227-ldn1622-the-boogeyman-nebula/ Ibbo https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22240-ngc457-rgb/ Bob Dobber https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22248-messier-1-the-crab-nebula/ RonC https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22261-ic-434-horse-head-nebula/ Megellan Boy https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22265-the-crab-nebula-with-ag12-and-mallincam-universe/ Bottletopburly https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22269-into-the-trapezium/ Lunar Only 3 posts this month Little old me and my attempt https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22221-moon-2nd-jan/ Derbyshire Dave with some close ups https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22245-plato-area-2nd-january-2023/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22251-copernicus-clavius-tycho/ Planetary Derbyshire Dave https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22225-mars-2nd-january-2023/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22235-jupiter-2nd-january-23/ Solar Just 3 folks caught some sun this month Derbyshire Dave https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22234-our-sun-2nd-jan-2022/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22249-our-sun-first-use-of-barlow/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22271-our-sun-20-january-2023/ ibbo https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22260-sol-16-1-23-wl-cak/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22264-sol-17-1-23-ha-cak-wl/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22273-sol-20-1-23-ha-cak-wl-also-large-faint-cak-prom/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22279-sol-21-1-23-ha-cak-continuum/ Graham https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22276-solar-from-today-21012023/ Widefield Venus is making an appearance again Ibbo https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22259-sunsetvenus-16-1-23/ Derbyshire Dave https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22284-the-moon-venus-and-saturn-tonight/plus a wide field later on https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22262-hyades-pleiades-and-more/ So a good haul from everyone this month, some excellent images. There are several which have the wow factor for me but one has stood out because I know how difficult it is to pull out the individual stars of the Trapezium from the surrounding nebula of M42. It is so easy to blow these out in processing and Bottletopburly has done a nice job and also provided some subtle detail in the surround nebula https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22269-into-the-trapezium/ Bottletopburly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
