philjay Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Picture of the Month June 2014 Well the weather has been set in its ways again, couple that with the light nights and there hasn't been many folks out imaging this month. But we are past the longest day now so we have those long, cold, clear nights to look forward to, don't we? :-) Comets, Asteroids, Meteors & MeteoritesNo submissions Deep Sky ObjectsPeter Shah kicked the month off with a lovely image of SH2-115 here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8091-its-been-a-while/ and I like Peters Crescent in Ha here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8129-the-crescent/ and here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8186-n6888-with-a-little-colour/ fwm891 gave us a nice image of the Sagittarius Region here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8092-sagittarius-region-unmodified-dslr/ packed full of stars that one. Also his IC1396 in Ha shows nice composition http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8166-elephants-trunk-in-ic1396/ and the crescent here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8169-ngc6888-in-ha-oiii-oiii/ I was fascinated with ollypenrices submission of the Squid and bat nebulae here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8107-squid-and-bat-27-hours/ Graham managed an image of M57 here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8161-ring-neb-from-tonight-13062014/ red dwarf managed a 1st light with his new camera and gave us a very creditable M101 http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8180-first-light-with-the-atik-314l/ Sheila gave us a view of the tulip in Ha here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8197-sh2-101-tulip-wip/ VikN46 had a go at M27 here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8206-m27-the-dumbbell-nebula-my-first-real-attempt/ and NGC7000 here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8213-ngc-7000-colour-and-bw/ I like Ibbos close up of M106, tons of detail in there http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8218-m106/ LunarOnly 2 submissions this month Graham gave us a 12 pane mosaic here of the 1st quarter http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8124-12-panel-mosaic-from-tonight-04062014/ StevenWhatley gave us a shot of the moon 2 days later http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8134-moon-6614-grantham-lincs/ PlanetaryNo submissions this month SketchingNo submissions this month SolarWell what can I say, 5 submissions and 3 of them mine, I will only mention the others though Ibbo gave us another stunning Ha shot here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8115-full-disc-ha-17-5-2014/ I'm afraid I cannot review Sunny Phils submission because the image is no longer available. WidefieldStevenWhatley captured an ISS pass here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8131-iss-grantham/ tbird managed to catch some Noctilucent Cloud http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8178-noctilucent-clouds/ fwm891 gave us a link to a nice animation here http://www.eastmidlandsstargazers.org.uk/topic/8203-dusk-to-dawn/ ConclusionI must admit the image submitted by olly of the squid and bat nebula bowled me over, what a stunning image of an object that I have never seen before but unfortunately the imagers responsible Yves Vand Den Buerk and Tom Donahue aren't EMS members so I cannot award them Potm but could you please pass my congratulations on to them for producing a superb image Olly? After great deliberation I can say that this months Potm accolade goes to red dwarf and his 1st light with his new Atik 314. Its a great 1st light image Rob especially as its LRGB, something which I never got my head round. I also like M101 as a subject and the image scale is nice pulling in loads of detail in the arms. More data on this will turn it into a stunner Rob but its a nice image as is. A key to APT is on its way to you Rob, congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
