June Competition Theme - Noctilucent Clouds (2014)

June's Competition Prize is kindly sponsored by:

As this target is easily available all month AND is probably one of the easier targets for this time of year (more accessible than deep sky targets for most), I think it is only apt that your target for entry into June's competition will be on Noctilucent Clouds. Your photo can be one that entered in to a previous competition only if it was not a winner in the past. It can be astronomical, scenic or even artistic (e.g. on paper by hand).

This Month's Prize
Has been kindly sponsored by Scopes & Space Ltd. and is a pair of Celestron Skymaster 15 X 70 Binoculars .


Closing Date: Monday June 30th.

TO ENTER:
Entries are to be sent to ifasphoto@yahoo.ie and should be hosted off-site, and linked to that provider. DO NOT ATTACH/SEND PHOTOS VIA EMAIL.

PLEASE make all images no larger than 800 pixels in width. Those that are larger will be requested to be made smaller, or failure to reply will result in omission from the competition. Rules etc can be found here .

NOTE re: flickr Hosted Images
flickr tends to protect images hosted on its service, thus making it nigh on impossible to just 'Right-click and Save As' an image. Please bear this in mind when sharing your flickr images as I have had to request alternate hosting links for the images (a lack of reply meant they couldn't get included in the polls in time).

PLEASE also include your IFAS username with your entry.


Clear Skies & Good Luck!
