Image of the Month - June 2016
June's image of the month is one of our favourites - Messier 27, or the Dumbbell Nebula. This is one of the best Planetary Nebulae to observe on the NSO as it almost fills the field of view (how much of the sky the camera can fit into one image) of the CCD camera, IO:O, therefore providing a spectacular image with vast detail. This image was produced by combining an observation in the B, V and R- bands using our 3-colour image tool.
We love to see the images you have created from your observations. Share your images with us and they might feature in the #ShowtheNSO gallery!
You can share your images with us in one of the following ways:
- By tagging @SchoolsObs on Twitter or Instagram and using the hashtag #ShowtheNSO
- Visiting our Show the NSO forum and uploading your image. You can also use the forums to ask for advice about your astronomical observations.
By sharing your images with the NSO, you consent for the NSO to use your image on our website and social media accounts and/or for publicity.
The Image of the Month competition is no longer running. A huge thank you to everyone who took part.
