Welcome to the March Cloudy Nights Reader’s Gallery Submission Forum. Each month, we ask our CN members to submit your best photos.

This month's theme for this section is: Free form

For your photo entries, please provide a description that includes:
your First and Last Name;
Date of photo (can include the time);
Description (title) of the image;
Relevant photo information (exposure length and equipment used).

This is important! If you don't supply ALL information, we won't be able to use your photograph!!!!

Please note: due to copyright issues, all photos should be original (If they aren't then you will be banned from this section of the forum!).

This month's deadline is March 15th, at 1700 hours Greenwich Mean Time.
To facilitate the judging we respectfully ask that you not enter comments in the photo thread. You will find a commentary thread for the solar entries. Thanks and good luck!

NOAA0564 shot 2/28/04 at Pleasanton, CA (inset is from SOHO - public domain)

Mewlon 250, 2X PowerMate, ST2000, custom 520nm/9nm bandpass filter to emphasize the faculae, Baader photo density film.

This is a single 0.02s exposure automatically graded and captured by CCDOPS - best out of 3 hours of continuing shooting. Seeing wasn't quite steady enough to capture surface granulation although there's a hint of it in some areas.
