Picture of the Month November 2013


 


That month went quick and again we have been blessed with a few clear skies and you folks have been out there taking some lovely images. So here's a roundup of the images that caught my eye this month. Again sorry if you posted and haven't had a mention but there has been a lot of images this month and to cover them all would take a rather long time to write on my part and read on yours. But keep them coming...

Its not been an easy one this month due to all the great images but my vote goes to Catman161 Jupiter GRS Transit 25.11.13 http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/6396-jupiter-grs-transit-25112013/. This is a really nice crisp image that has been sympathetically processed showing loads of detail and good colour.
