Y2K6: Your Best Shots for the Year ?

[janoskiss (Steve H)]

Wow, what a great thread! And I almost missed it if not for the image of the month on the IIS front page. Great images everyone. Love the B&W Orion, Bill.

great memories there mike......defaintely gets the juices flowing for the coming joop season!

[rogerg (Roger)]

Mike you certainly have the planetary and lunar imaging sorted out well. Stunning sharp clarity. Oddly enough though, my favourite is probably Uranus, great to see which is such a good view of it for an amateur scope.

If I had to choose one.

If you view this at 70% of your screen resolution the full image is larger than A1 in size (594x841mm). It would be equivalent to about 800x800mm.

What a fantastic body of work from everyone, congratulations to all of you.

It has definitely inspired me to image more in 2007.

Cheers

Hi Guys

Sorry but I digress, this image is not an Y2K6 shot, but a Y2K5 shot. This particular image was taken on the night my son was born. One hour exposure, one hour dark frame, etc, two hours of sleep and 16 hours of labor. When ever I look at this image, what ever time of the year I think of my son. That is an image worth keeping.

WOW!!! These are the best comined images ever!!
What an excellent thread!!

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

Yep Daniel, I agree. A terrific thread.

All are great images as they all take work and dedication and effort, and the results show!

Especially mine

[middy]

Mine aren't even in the same league as all of the above images, but here are the only three that I got a buzz from when I had processed them and which I consider worthy of reposting.

They're great Andrew !!!

I enjoy using the scope to capture thru but the standard cheap lens of the old 300d on a cheap mount unguided gives me my biggest buzz.
