July Competition Theme - Back to Galaxies! (2007)

Yep, I know we did this before, but this time I am hoping that if we get some good weather, that someone will try and capture some summertime galaxies! Your target for entry into July's competition will be on Galaxies Great & Small.

Closing Date: Tuesday July 31st.

Entries are to be sent to photo_competition@irishastronomy.org and should be hosted off-site, and linked to that provider. If in doubt regarding what to do, please read the Rules & Guidelines .

PLEASE make all images no larger than 800 X 800 pixels in size. Those that are larger will be requested to be made smaller, or failure to reply will result in omission from the competition.


Clear Skies & Good Luck!

Seanie,

You want a galaxy (geat or small) set against a landscape? I would be interested to see how many entries you do get! :shock:

One thing to identify a geat galaxy ( ) and something else to get it against a landscape?!

Oh yeah, one thing, previous entries from the last one (May 2006, see here ) are permitted, but not the winning entry!

(Sorry Dave Grennan!)

PLEASE make all images no larger than 800 X 800 pixels in size. Those that are larger will be requested to be made smaller, or failure to reply will result in omission from the competition.

Given that Seanie wants a landscape too please try to make your galaxy take up more than 1 pixel in the image :lol:

So do we need the whole galaxy or just a part of? And how much is a part? If I take a pi of a tree say, the tree is in the galaxy so does that count? OR do I need stars? In that case how many stars are required to be in the image? :lol:

I'm not usually able to get good shots of Galaxies against landscapes but
I think this one turned out great...
Watch out Dave Grennan!

Sorry Seanie! I couldn't resist!!

You'd be doing well to get galaxy images in July, people are going to have to dig into their archives for this one.
