Picture of the Month October 2023

Urgh! what a month, wet wet wet for a lot of the time and the number of pictures posted this month reflects that. Hopefully, November will fare better but I shall not hold my breath.

So despite the weather we have had some cracking images posted this month, and I have had a job again to pick a fave. So I have used my trusty "Wowometer". Which image made me say wow the most and that is Ibbos B150, The depth in that image is almost 3d and the colours are subtle. OK there isnt tons of red, yellows and blues in there but dark nebula aint easy to image. Love it.

 

Closely followed by Derbyshire Daves Iris
