SGL 2021 Challenge 5 - 30 second exposures

[MartinB]

This challenge has shown that you don't need multiminute sub exposures  to achieve stunning results.  Modern CMOS cameras certainly appear up to the task.  Yet again, the judging was difficult and some divided opinions (always a good sign!)

1st Fegato - The North American Nebula

Well done to all who entered the challenge.

@MartinB really glad to have made the top three thanks. On a separate note the SGL imaging challenge 7 SNRs and PNs link does not work are you aware of that? Thanks 

[Fegato]

I'm not surprised you had divided opinions - there's nothing in it between those three shots is there really? 

But thanks - I'm honoured!

You can ignore this I have found the link in the competition tab it’s that the shortcut image does not link thanks
