Images you found breathtaking during 2007

[davidpretorius]

Hi Guys,

having just salivated over Ezy's M42, it got me thinking of all the great images that jump to mind from IISer's.

-One of Birds jupiters seemed to have a 3d great red spot
-Mike's Jupiter moon animation
-Ken's work with the long exposure toucam
-Paul H's joop on his laptop screen during the planetary camp

If I were to think about the best of best for whatever reason, then my top 5 might go something like (in order of my brain remembering, not necessarily in top 5 order)

1. denis's moon orbiter image
2. xreckor's hand of god lightning
3. birds 3d GRS (like looking down the eye of a hurricane)
4. i think it was tornado (scott), but he imaged a couple of little known clusters and they were sooooo delicate........a stand out for mine
5. mike sid's eye of god was also great

Anyone else find an image from this year or last year that took your breath away???

Hi David, It's hard to remember all of the images on display from this year but some that stand out would have to be the images of comet McNaught.

There were so many spectacular captures of this wonderful sight

Cheers

I am very biased of course! But Mike Sedonios Helix was fantastic. The planetary images absolutely sublime. I don't comment as I am not that au fait with all the complexities.
Some of scotts unknown PN's. Kens TouCam images.

But you are correct it is people pushing whatever they have to the limit.

I cant pick a winner but it does not matter, as they were all very good!

true, no winners, all good for different reasons.

I know we tease Mike about his pelicans, bu i have enjoyed the landscape stuff he does.........which gets me thinking, there were some awesome sydney harbour bridges at night earlier this year.:thumbsup:

the highlight for me was comet mcnaught - no matter the image

[xstream]

I would second that! :thumbsup:

[jjjnettie]

Comet McNaught. We'll not see anything like that for a long long time.

[pvelez]

Help us out guys - why not put these beauties up again for us to look at. :D

I am sure I missed a few of them the first time around

i was not a member way back then but heres my shot of THE comet

[leon]

Nice one Alchemy, it's good to look back on these shots from other members, and of coarse new members.

I like all my own images.

[rumples riot]

My blog below has all my images, check the archives link too. Plenty of images there.

Shameless self promotion.

[John Saunders]

Rumples,

You have justifiable cause for self promotion - the shot of the Moretus crater is fantastic...can I use it for wallpaper on my laptop...

Let others be the judge, but for quality of shot - this one has my vote.

[Dennis]

Hi Leon

Not all new members are coarse. Sum ov em r kwite sofistikated like wot I iz.:lol::lol::lol:

Rather than fill this thread with more pics, just use the links in my Signature: 'Video 1', 'Video 2', and 'Gallery' :thumbsup:

Many of the images here constantly blow me away and the standard seems to be rapidly improving, but i must say lately that Jase has been pulling out some rippers!! A couple that has stayed in my mind is his Helix neb and his M33 which were on the front forum shot of the week a few weeks back.
