Belatedly, here are some comments!

So I'm not such a fan of false-color iamges... but those false color fields of Saturn storms, they are stunningly beuatiful and extremely interesting, too.

Ignacio de la Cueva, I just love your Iris Nebula! Your image is stunningly beautiful. Teh details are very rich, and the colors are fantastic. Look at that intense blue luminence of the reflection nebulosity. Look at the overall brown color of the unilluminated dust, and look at the near pitch blackness of the patches where the dust gets concentrated, perhaps to the point where it can give birth to more stars. And look at that amazing rims of purple, which sure look like a bit of emission nebulosity was present here.

JPMiss, that is an extremely striking image you have posted. What are those strange, seemingly very old, almost magical buildings? I love the way they seem to "point" at the sky, which rotates above them - or rather, it is the Earth that rotates. It looks wonderful either way.

Max Edin, that's a marvellously beautiful winter landscape under a clear aurora borealis sky.

Viljo Nylund, that's a fine prominence. I'm even more fascinated by the dark "fingers" of the Sun.

Chris Hetlage, you have captured a prominence too, but the most remarkable aspect of your image is the grainy "surface" of the chromosphere, where "snakes" seem to be crawling around.

And Jesús Carmona de Argila, you have given us a whole "cluster" of prominences, and included the Earth for comparison!

Bret D Webster, it's sure something to see the Milky Way rise vertically out of a thunderstorm!

Leonardo Orazi, I think I have seen that image before, but I love it just as much this time.

Alistair Symon, thanks for including both the frothy and wind-blown nebulosity and the cluster that is left over from a previous epoch of massive star formation.

Nuclearcat, may I ask you, is your name M. Raşid Tuğral? I guess I thought you were someone else, but I must have misunderstood it. Your image is very beautiful, with the star trails curving in different directions over this striking mountainous landscape.

Dave Jarvis, I very much appreciate your comparison of the sizes of planets and stars. But I hardly recognized the Earth at first - it sure looks dark!

Tunç Tezel, you are one of the mainstays here, and it is always nice to see your fine images.

Francisco Javier Mora, that's some face-off between the Madonna and the Moon.

Leonardo Orazi, I really, really love your image of IC 10! This is a truly fascinating galaxy, the nearest starburst galaxy, but strongly reddened by dust in our own galaxy. Thank you for your very, very fine portrait of this little galactic gem!

Mark Clegg, I really like your Jupiter! The two dark red "barges" look like a pair of eyes, and the Great Red Spot is like a round nose in this "face" of Jupiter!

Karel Bůna and Martin Bůna, are you perhaps father and son? I like your Andromeda galaxy.

Philippe Moussette, I think I may have seen your image here before. I love it just as much this time. It looks as if the rainbows are enclosing this neighbourhood in a magical bubble.

Rich Bowden, that is an incredibly "rich" and "swarming" image of a veritable zoo of clusters and nebulae in the LMC. Fantastic. That green "hula hoop" is partcularly amazing.

Emil Ivanov, I just love your "color scheme". Your image of Sh2-155 and VdB 155 is eye candy to me.

Robert Pölzl, your image of IC 1805 is very striking and "dynamic".

Rafael Rodriguez, I love your image of S Monocerotis and the Cone Nebula! Thank you so much for giving so much "weight" to the blue light of this area.

Thanks to everyone who contributed pictures here!

Ann

Ann, thank you very much. Yes I am! This is from summits of Bakirlitepe where TUBITAK National Observatory is located.
