RASC Observer's Calendar Image Submission Guidelines

We welcome images from both long-time imagers as well as newcomers, from deep sky to lunar, solar, planetary or atmospheric phenomena. Images can also be Wide Field or Starscape compositions. Sketches are also welcome. The editor appoints volunteer assistants from the imaging community to assist in the selection process however the editor bears all responsibility for the Observer’s Calendar printing and quality.
