Astronomy.FM announced September's Amateur Astronomy Picture of the Month (AAPOD) this evening on their Space Pirate Radio astronomy program. The winner, Paulo Lobao, of Portugal, will receive a 60-minutes account with Global-Rent-A-Scope, to be used on any of their worldwide astro-imaging systems.
Lobao's winning image, "LCROSS and Asteroid (3731) Hancock Rendez-vous," is an animated feature using eleven 90-second images acquired with a Takahashi FS102NSV + QSI 532WS-M1 + Baader Clear filter.

In second place, Dave Evans' "Daytime Astronomy: Moon in Full Daylight" focuses on the Moon's south pole region; while the third place winner, "Mel 15 in the Heart Nebula Ha+OIII," displays remarkable team work by Donato and Gianluca Ciraci of Cava dei Tirreni, South America.
