Images of the Month
Since around late 2015, each month I have put my favourite image from the previous month on the home page. I later went back and selected my best monthly images from 2014 and early 2015.
I hope you find it interesting to see how my imaging skills have improved over the years, as my equipment and experience have grown.

Image of the Month for July 2017: Saturn
The challenge this year is that from the UK Saturn is approaching its lowest elevation for the next thirty-two years. Next year it will be slightly lower again, and it will be around 2021 before it rises high enough to make imaging easier.
