Jared,
I was wowed by Declerq's moon, too, but I still voted for your magnificent M42. There's something just magical about this ever so commonly imaged nebula, and your shot brings forth the magic in a poetic way. Jared, the vivid coloration wouldn't let me go.
That said, I have to concur with the others that this was truly a VERY difficult choice. All the contestants were quite close. The Cygnus is GREAT (another magical region of the skies). Of course, Declerq's Luna is in a league with Kaguya -- mesmerizing.
And no discussion is complete without mentioning soreneck's Rosette Nebula. It almost got my vote, too. That's one SHARP image, and I love the Jo-Anne McArthur photography website. Keep up the great work, Adam! Definitely good enough to be my Desktop's background in the large-frame mode. Fantastic work!
As usual, Jeremy always does great sketches with well-written narrative to flesh out the observing experience and impart an experiential sense to the brotherhood of astronomy. And Louisiana's own is throwing up some nice images, too.
Great job, everyone!
