Best of Luck!

Both very good.
M45 nebulosity restrained and effective.
Eagle nebula is difficult so
My vote is for no 1. Well done Seanie

By and by I'm sure there should be a direct voting page but not active in my mail

Hi astroda1. Don't thank me, thank the people who take the images! They are the ones that do the work, I just manage the competition forum so that they can all be seen with pride and splendour!

The voting procedure is visible at the top of this posts page - you should see 2 clickable options for this months competition, but you only get to select one, then click on "Submit Vote" to cast it.
