August 2012 Astrophotography Contest Winners
« on: 2012 September 20 05:39:40 »
Greetings to everybody!

Thank you very much to everyone for participating in the August edition of the 2012 PixInsight Monthly Astrophotography Contest. Once again, we want to encourage everybody to participate in future editions of the monthly contest. According to the points 8 and 10 of the contest rules, when the number of submitted images is less than seven, the monthly contest can have only a winner.

Once again we have a shared unique prize. Congratulations to the winners of the shared unique prize of this month!

Shared Unique Prize (A) — NGC6727 in Corona Australis by gvanhau.



Shared Unique Prize (B) — NGC6559 in Sagittarius by idiaz.



The contest organizers would like to deserve a special mention to Alejandro Tombolini for the high quality and beauty of it´s current contribution but also for the hard job explaining in detail the processing steps. Month by month, its contributions to this contest are becoming valuable mini tutorials. We would like to congratulate and encourage Alejandro and everybody to keep up doing such this great job, as well as to encourage everyone to continue participating in new comming editions.

Special Mention — M16 (Eagle nebula) in Serpens by Alejandro Tombolini.



Clear, dark and steady skies to everybody!

Hi, thank you very much for the special mention and for the kind words. It is a pleasure to process images and share the processing steps in the forum.
Congrats to Geert and Ignacio for the beautiful wining pictures!!!
This month I have not had enough free time and I could not process a picture before the the contest close, then I am going to public a little galaxy in Gallery.

Saludos. Alejandro.
