There are many lovely images here.

Toward the end of this thread so far, the Veil Nebula is really "flying" in no less than three images. Morten la Cour's image makes the Veil Nebula look like a bird of prey, about to pounce on something at lower left. Martin Pugh makes his eastern Veil Nebula look like two really spooky ghosts, taking flight well in advance of Halloween! And the third image is by Lynn Hilborn. Thanks for your fine-looking Veil Nebula!

This is also a thread where there are two or three images of several things, and many things come in pairs. Efrain Morales has given us three beautiful Jupiter images. There are three closeups of the face of the Sun, and there are two pictures of the ISS in silhuette against the Sun, although the picture by Dani Caxete contains no less than seven ISS images! César Cantú, your solar image, while lacking the ISS, is fantastically detailed and deep.

There are two comet images, although not of the same comet. There are two globular cluster images, though not of the same globular cluster. There are two planetary nebulae images, although not of the same planetary nebula. And there are two fascinating and beautiful "twisted star trail" images, even though I couldn't say if they show the same star trails!

Many of the pictures show obvious "pairs in the sky". There is Bryan Cogdell's great portrait of spiral galaxy NGC 6946 - how lovely it looks! :D - and open cluster NGC 6939. There is Luis Miguel Gil's fine portrait of the Double Cluster. There is Lóránd Fényes' very fine picture of the Bubble Nebula and open cluster M52. There is John Chumack's beautiful picture of Mars visiting the Winter Pentagon and Jupiter and a cluster of telescopes looking on. There is Emil Ivanov's lovely portrait of two blue van den Bergh reflection nebulae at opposite ends of a dark brown nebula. There is nheacock's delightful image of Comet Garradd paying a visit to the lovely Coathanger asterism, Collinder 399. There is Bill Snyder's very beautiful picture of planetary nebula M57, the Ring Nebula, and galaxy IC 1296. And there is, very poignantly, a portrait of the Twin Towers against the Sun.

For me as a lover of blue things, I think that Bernard Miller's portrait of the Iris Nebula is very beautiful, and David Pearson's Pleaides portrait is wonderful.

Christopher K. Eaton's picture, Stars Above, Thunder Below, is truly fascinating and beautiful. Note the incredibly red color of Antares just above the clouds.

I*m an absolute sucker for lovely portraits of Scorpius, and Manuel Jung's picture delivers everything you could wish for! Thanks, Manuel!

Finally, Luis Argerich's "coffee klatch" picture of three galaxies getting together for a cup of celestial coffee and some gossip, is the kind of picture that would do well in a fairy tale. There is something quite magical about it.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this great collection of images!

Ann
