Imaging Challenge #11 - Galaxies - Winners

[admin]

Some superb entries as always - very enjoyable challenge to judge! One thing we've noticed, often if people submit multiple entries, different judges will prefer different ones so you can actually undermine your own votes by having to many equally good entries!

Winners this time:

M106 By alan4908

Near, Far Away(?) By coatesg

M101 By Shibby

Oh come on, taking pictures of galaxies while in intergalactic space is cheating!

Not many of these people are from the UK I assume

Interesting that all three winners are from south-east(ish) England, so not benefiting from any cloud-free geographical advantage!

Definitely no advantage where I've been the last couple of months! (then only goes clear when you only have a couple of hours of darkness... :-/ )
