CWAS David Malin's 2018

The CWAS astrofest/David Malin awards have wound up again with congratulations going to Luke Tscharke for his impressive nightscape of the Tasmanian wilderness:

Luke is a professional landscape photographer based in Tassie and has placed well in previous Malins as well Royal Greenwich.
Apparently this year attracted more entries than ever before which is great to see! Many new names plus a few of the usual suspects were on the winners list.

Canon did a spectacular job in printing the winning images now on display at the Parkes 64 meter telescope’s visitor centre.
Well put by Canon’s Alan Brightman at the exhibition launch “A screen’s resolution of only a few hundred pixels per inch.
The beauty of these mages is truly unveiled when they become a real photograph and are displayed as a high resolution print”

According to Brightman the Malin's have the largest audience of ANY photographic exhibition/competition in Australia by far. Over 200,000 people
viewed the travelling exhibition last year and expect the 2018/9 numbers to go higher again.

Congrats to John Sarkissian and CWAS for holding another cracking Astrofest
