A public thank-you to those who have contributed this month - some impressive efforts.

Unfortunately, support from the broader IIS community is lacking. Mike warned me when I started this challenge that it had been tried before with limited success. I now realise that imagers may well have their own agenda, potentially acquiring data for projects over several years, so a focused challenge may not fulfil their needs.

I will not continue running this challenge. Alex has suggested that those who seek inspiration for targets might look to the ongoing Visual Observing Challenge. I'll leave it to him to discuss how imagers might become involved there.

Thanks again to all those who have contributed to the challenge in its various forms over the last few months. Hopefully this La Nina will dissipate quickly so we can enjoy some more favourable skies in the near future.

Regards
