David Malin Award Winners & Results

(via John Sarkissian)

Earlier this evening, the winners of this year’s CWAS “David Malin Awards” were announced at a special presentation at the CSIRO Parkes Radio Observatory. A web site of the awards featuring pictures of the evening, will be prepared and posted in the coming days.

For the first time ever, we had joint overall winners. Congratulations to Phil Hart and Peter Ward. Their entries were of such outstanding quality, each in its own genre, that David was not able to split them.


Overall Winners:
This year we had two joint overall winners – the first time ever. They are:

“The Moon in Motion” – Phil Hart (Animations)

Citation: “A beautifully made series of sequences of the 2017 USA solar eclipse, set to suitably mysterious music. This is by far the finest video we have had submitted in the history of this competition, and the processing and presentation completely embraces both aesthetic and scientific realms with aplomb.”


“Stellar Cauldron” – Peter Ward (Deep Sky)

Citation: “This is a vivid and astonishing rendition of the well-known Orion nebula. While it's the vivid red of the ionized hydrogen that catches the eye, the picture also reveals the subtle texture and shading of the dusty regions around and within it. This is one of the finest images of this object that I have ever seen.”

“Moonbow Magic” – Luke Tscharke (Nightscapes)
