philjay Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Thanks Sheila for doing POTM last month, a fine job. Work and hols got in the way for most of July for us at philjay towers. The weather was a bit mixed for us all over the month but some managed to get out and grab some photons. Comets, Asteroids etc A few past meteors from Astronomer Reinventeds archives Deep Sky Over 9 hours of Bubbles from Bottletopburly https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22689-ngc-7635-92-hrs/ ibbo gave us M13 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22665-m13-rgb/ M63 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22673-m63-lrgb/ 2359 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22730-ngc-2359/ 7023 https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/23029-ngc-7023-now-with-added-lrgb/ BobDobber gave us A Wizard https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22732-wizard-nebula-in-sho/ An Iris https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22700-iris-nebula-in-lrgb/ Some Tadpoles https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/23031-the-tadpoles-in-sho/ Derbyshire Dave gave us a Coathanger https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22721-the-coathanger/ Glafnazur gave us some retro M13s https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/23012-a-couple-of-m13s-from-may/ and the m101 supernova https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/23032-supernova-in-m101/ Lunar Only one post this month Astronomer Reinvented https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22669-july-2nd/ Planetary ibbo has started early with Jupiter and Saturn https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22671-a-bit-early-yet/ Astronomer Reinvented gave us some from his archives https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22707-venus-and-jupiter-march-7th/ Solar Ibbo was out catching some rays https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22656-sol-29-6-23-ha-fd/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22659-sol-29-6-23-cak/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22661-sol-29-6-23-ar-3354-ha/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22660-sol-29-6-23-cak/ https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22712-sol-17-7-23-ha/ So was Derbyshire Dave https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22697-red-hot-sun/ Graham also https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22714-solar-from-the-17072023/ and Dean Watson https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/23033-currant-bun-from-29-7-23-around-sixish/ Widefield Just a couple this month, Astronomer Reinvented going through his archives again and a sunset from Derbyshire Dave. Wow, the quality of images is high again this month, well done all who posted. So it's down to choosing again and it is yet again a difficult one. The two gobsmacking images for me this month were DSOs from Bob Dobber and Ibbo. Bobs wizard and Ibbos Iris. Both have loads of data and excellent processing and flipping between them has Ibbos Iris just ahead of Bobs Wizard I reckon. Why? colours in both are superb but the Iris has an almost 3d effect for me. So Ibbos Iris is POTM for July https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/23029-ngc-7023-now-with-added-lrgb/ with Bob Dobbers Wizard a close second https://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/22732-wizard-nebula-in-sho/ +Ibbo, Bob Dobber, +Streetbob and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
