I have some time now, so I thought I'd post some comments.
Ah, Yuriy Toropin, the Blue Horse region! It is slightly less blue than some other pictures of this area, and me being a lover of all things blue, well... but I must say that your picture is splendid, dramatic, very colorful and beautifully framed!
Siggi Kohlert, that's a very very handsome portrait indeed of the Needle Galaxy, NGC 4565. I think it looks a bit like a stiff and
very wide-rimmed hat in your image, or rather like a "small-headed" person wearing an extremely wide-rimmed hat!
Peppepappa87, I like it! That's a fine picture of the conjunction between Venus and the Pleiades.
herbraab, what a fine all-sky fish-eye picture! We can indeed see lots of planets here, in fact all of the planets that have been known since antiquity, with the exception of fleet-footed Mercury. I like the fact that we can see the conjunction of Venus and the Pleiades in your picture. But tell me, what is that bright orange light to the upper left of the Moon? There is a corresponding light to the lower right of the Moon. Perhaps they are photographic effects due to the brilliance of the Moon.
Thomas Ashcraft, I tried in vain to identify even a single star in your image! But I so enjoy the marvellous intensity of the blue color of the sky. And those red sprites are amazing, of course!
Scott Tully, you wrote:
I always enjoy seeing the moon in the blue sky
Me too! Thanks for sharing this!
azstarman, thanks for taking a fine picture of one of my favorite galaxies, M94. Look at that brilliant starforming ring bursting with the colors red and blue!
Grant Collier, that's a great aurora picture!
Marion Haligowski, I like both your conjunction images.
Philippe TOSI, I like your conjunction image, too.
Oh, what a wonderful Tarantula widefield image, Andres Vattuone! It is quite stunningly beautiful!
Efe Tuncel, that's a fine Moon and Venus image. But to me it is more than that. Those structures that can be seen at the bottom of the pictures look futuristic and art deco at the same time, as if we had stepped inside an old-fashioned science fiction movie to witness a dream about the future in the past. To me, your picture is both mysterious and evocative.
Philippe Bernhard, that's a fine portrait of the Leo Triplet of galaxies. I particularly like how you manage to bring out the individual character of each of the galaxies.
Paul Haese, what an amazing image of the bow shock of a Wolf Rayet star! I'm stunned! I checked this object with my software, but I was unable to identify the Wolf Rayet star itself. The brilliant blue arc that we see in your image might possibly be OIII radiation. It is of course interesting to think that there could be little or no hydrogen here, if the Wold Rayet star has already shed much or most of its hydrogen envelope. Anyway, I found the picture pretty fantastic!
Philippe Bernhard, that's a fine portrait of the Veil nebula. It looks very "Ha and OIII emission"-like to me, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that!
Howard Trottier, that's a very beautiful picture of the Cave Nebula. Thanks for sharing!
César Cantú, that's a fine picture of the center of the Milky Way.
Thierry Legault, I like both of your conjunction images.
Thanks to everyone who contributed images here!
