Hi, saw that. Not much there that impressed me, compared to apod, but then I didn’t open full resolution. A few weird ones way down on the list that are interestingly different.

For 139 images, rather than just 35, see

Number 40 is fun. A comet on the top of a tall pine tree looks like the star on the top of the christmas tree.

Number 54 photography method “For a single multiple-exposure image” is interesting, not so sure it’s true.

Number 62, moon in enhanced colour. Annoyingly, doesn’t say where on the Moon.

Number 70, I don’t recognise this nebula “Giant squid nebula”

Number 77. “Venus is very hard to image. It wobbles and shimmers so much as it is so close to the horizon. That this photographer has captured such a perfect shot here is amazing enough, but the use of IR filters shows real dedication to planetary imaging.”

Number 111 is surprisingly different. The most obvious thing in the northern sky, the plough, photographed from an aeroplane.

Number 135. Real science value. Occultation of star by asteroid. I’d like to see more like this.

Number 139 is “so” different. ‘Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka’. Dithering over such a large area is the best way to exactly measure the brightness of the brightest stars.
