Amateur astrophotographer of month (AAM)

[OlegBr]

Pavel,
I registered in the gallery and going to participate in the April contest. But I do have one question about the dates. I have work that I started shooting in February, and finished and processed in March and April. (Weather we have in the winter and spring is very unstable and I often have to collect material for months).
Could these works participate in the April contest?

Regards,
Oleg Bryzgalov.

Павел,
Я только что зарегистрировался в галерее и собираюсь участвовать в апрельском конкурсе. Но у меня есть один вопрос по поводу дат. У меня есть работы, которые я начинал снимать в феврале, а заканчивал и обрабатывал в марте-апреле. (погода у нас зимой-весной очень нестабильна и мне часто приходится накапливать материал месяцами).
Могут ли эти работы участвовать в апрельском конкурсе?

С уважением,
Олег Брызгалов.

Dear Oleg!

Thank you very much for your interest! According your question:

If you take a part of your photo in March, you can participate in April 2011. Your photo (or last shooting) should be in March, it is ok for April round! 

For better understanding for example - if I will have shooting times 11. 1., 12.2 and 13. 3, it is ok to start April round!

If you have shooting time 11.1, 12.2 and processing 13.3, this photo should not be in April round.

Clear sky!
Pavel

Thank you, Pavel!
Everything became clear.

Перевод разъяснения Павла:

Уважаемый Олег!
Большое спасибо за проявленный интерес! По поводу Вашего вопроса:
Если часть ваших фото снята в марте, то вы можете участвовать в конкурсе апреля 2011 года. Ваша фотография (или дата последней съемки) должна быть снята в марте, это нормально для апрельского конкурса!
Для лучшего понимания, например - если я буду снимать 11 января, 12 февраля и 13 марта - это нормально для апрельского конкурса!
Если вы снимали 11 января, 12 февраля, а обработали 13 марта, то это фото не может участвовать в апрельском конкурсе.

Чистого неба!
Павел

If you have shooting time 11.1, 12.2 and processing 13.3, this photo should not be in April round.

Usually, I spend 2-4 months for one picture  processing
As I understand, this competition not for me

[astropintr]

To StasV:
I think, this competition is for you, but you must make processing earlier. We need actual pictures in our gallery, because these data should see another amateurs or public people. If there will be picture of Orion (M 42) on summer, this is for our competition not good, because you are not able to see Orion at summer sky. Don´t remember, that new amateur astronomers study your pictures and these people would like to find these objects at night sky! This is reason, why we need photos not older than 2 months.

I hope, that I will see your pictures in our gallery, if your processing will be earlier! You are welcome!

Костя, спасибо! Сам не ожидал! Отправил поздно, вначале рейтинг был средний, а в последние дни как попёрло...
Видимо наши форумчане постарались!
