Amateur Astronomy Picture of the Month for June, 2011

I’m very honored that the image below was voted Amateur Astronomy Picture of the Month for June, 2011 by the users of Astronomy.fm.  I greatly appreciate their recognition of my images.

I wanted to mention this and to put a plug in for the sponsors of Astronomy.fm.  You can see the AAPOD in the upper, left corner of the main page of this site every day (and some of the great astrophotography done by my colleagues around the world).  The people who run Astronomy.fm provide an excellent resource and entertaining site for amateur enthusiasts worldwide.  Astronomy.fm is 100% reliant on the donations and generosity of its listeners and visitors to its website, so please visit and support them!
