I was lucky to have 9.5 hours of imaging last week and pointed all the equipment to NGC 2264.

This thread has been split from the previous "Recent Submissions" thread, so some of my comments can be read where the pictures can't be found! So I'm adding my comments from my other thread so that my comments can be read where the pictures are! Here goes:

atamanti, you have made a nice portrait of the Cone Nebula region. I like how you bring out the blue reflection nebula near hot O-type star S Mon (also known as 15 Mon or S Monocerotis), and I like how you bring out the color contrast with orange M-type bright giant, HD 47886 at far right in your image.

And Greg Parker, once again, I really like your Cone Nebula region and IC 2169 portrait. You show us the relative brightness of things and how far apart they are. I also like that you bring out the faint old cluster Trumpler 5, a faint smudge below center and slightly to the left.

Reinhold, thanks for bringing us your first herald of spring!

Vegastar Carpentier, thank you for bringing us your portrait of Venus and Jupiter over Paris! I like the deep blue overall color of your picture, but I think I like the "mythological" aspect of it even more. The two planets, with names of ancient gods, hang over a scene where my eyes are drawn to an almost human-looking Eiffel Tower. The famous Paris landmark looks a bit like a cross between a man and a giraffe, but personally I'm reminded of something that is mentioned very early in the Bible, that there were giants who lived on the Earth before the Flood, giant men of the past who were so powerful. Brightly lit and "spitting light", the Eiffel Tower could almost be one of those ancient giants. Thank you so much for this evocative picture, Vegastar!

And Tamas Abraham, that's a wonderfully striking and dramatic image, again highlighting Venus and Jupiter. That tall crucifix standing on that tall "boulder" on a mountain overlooking a distant city is almost "pointing" at the two majestic planets. How beautiful!

Now let me add a few more comments.

Greg Parker, I like your "super Albireo" portrait, 119 and 120 Tauri. Red 119 Tauri is a mighty M-type "lesser supergiant", around 5,000 times as bright as the Sun in visual light, and much, much brighter in the infrared. Blue 119 Tauri is no slouch, either: it's a star of spectral class B2, probably at least a thousand times as bright as the Sun in visula light and much, much brighter than the Sun in the ultraviolet. So thank you, Greg Parker, for calling our attention to this fascinating pair, which just might be "birth siblings", too.

Salvatore Grasso, I like your processing of this Hubble image, which brings out a fascinating and tumultuous dust cloud in Carina. Either this dust cloud is being battered by ferocious winds from the monstrous stars in the vicinity, or else there is star formation going on in the dust cloud itself.

You bring out a lot of interesting structure in M106, Terry Hancock.

Miguel Claro, I like both your images, and I love your second one, where you superimpose the stars that actually made the star trails on your image. Tell me, what is that fantastic yellow structure? It almost looks like the pillars of an ancient temple illuminated by golden light!

Adam Block, I always love your images, and I love your dedication to photographing galaxies!

M99 is a very beautiful and "dramatic" spiral galaxy, which doesn't get half the attention it deserves. Thanks for giving us this gorgeous RGB image of this gigantic and sparkling ferris wheel in the sky!

Miguel Claro, that's a great animation of asteroids Tyche and Eros!

César Cantú, that's a very fine portrait of the "inner workings" of the splendid Rosette nebula!

Wolfgang Promper, that's a fine portrait of NGC 5139, also known as Omega Centauri!

Luca Moretti, what a beautiful and dramatic skyscape with a colourful sunset, a lying-down "smiling" Moon and Venus and Jupiter! And your other image shows us the smiling Moon even more impressively! The Moon is almost "oozing" Earthshine, and I can see structure along the terminator. Fantastic!

Rothkko, I absolutely love the image where Jupiter, Venus and the Moon are reflected in the water of the reservoir of los Canchales. It's a marvellous composition. But in your other image I can't find Mercury. Can you tell me where in the image I can find it?

Gilles Chapdelaine, what a beautiful galaxy "necklace" you have photographed for us! Thanks!

And thanks to everyone who has submitted images here!

Ann
