very nice images (of course), but shouldn't the rules between nightscape and widefield be tightened up? they just about appear the one and the same thing here ... with the exception of the two widefield deep sky objects in the widefield category.

the contest does appear quite widefield heavy - would be nice if they showcased more of the deep space stuff, i'm sure David gets a bunch of very high quality deep sky images - 'tis a shame not to showcase them.

of the 38 images short listed only 15 are terrestrial free... a bit low for an astrophotography competition? - don't get me wrong they are all fantastic images, but the widefield stuff gets such a look in most other competitions it's a shame to have so few deep sky or high resolution planetary/solar images - in one of the most well respected astrophotography comps. just my 2cents.

cheers
