Delighted to announce that @Marcel Drechsler, of the renowned Strottner-Drechsler research team, has come onboard as one of the APP online judges. You already know him as an Astrobin judge and award-winning astrophotographer. https://www.astrobin.com/users/Marcel_Drechsler/ In the short time of its existence, the Strottner-Drechsler research team has already made and photographed numerous discoveries that have received recognition from experts:
The team's most significant discovery in early 2023 was unveiling an unknown, giant, turquoise-coloured plasma arc near the Andromeda Galaxy - probably the most photographed cosmic object ever. The discovery of this plasma arc has changed the face of the Andromeda Galaxy forever. It is considered the most important astronomical discovery made by amateurs in recent years, generating the biggest media coverage for the team to date. The discovery of a hitherto new class of galactic nebulae around the binary star YY Hya, and the probably related lost nova apparition from the year 1065, also caused a great stir among international scientists and amateurs alike. Against this background, it is not surprising that dozens of articles in various journals - including such renowned ones as Scientific American - deal with the research team's discoveries. We are thrilled that Marcel has joined the judging panel, and look forward to seeing everyone's entries.
