Stunning photos. Congratulations to all.

Thanks Mike. It'll be great to have these on the wall, and to give as a gift.

what a great initiative

I took my first-ever star trails and tracked deep space photo almost exactly one year ago... so to have been shortlisted and voted the category winner (twice!) is a HUGE honour for me!

(Between the 2.5 lunar eclipses, Comet Lovejoy, and the Venus Transit in my first year of astro - I think I was rather spoilt!)

Thank you to everyone on IIS who has taught me so much since I started - especially those of you who voted for me

Congratulations also to everyone who submitted an entry to the competition. Seeing so many amazing photos being posted on here keeps the community active and vibrant.

Here's to many more celestial events and great images!

Well done Greg and everyone else for getting their images voted into the calendar. I'm of course very happy to also have one in it as well, and am always honoured that other people vote for my images so thank you to everyone that did in this competition. That's a very nice image Greg and the same with all the others. It great to be in such good company.

Thanks to Mike and David from Astrovisuals and anyone else I don't know of for making this happen. The only down side to this is that it means we are more than half way through the year already... gawd. At least it won't be long until I have something nice to hang up in the kitchen!

Wow ... there are a ton of sensational images, from highly talented imagers.

Congratulations to all winners, and also to all nominees.

What I have seen in this contest alone is simply fantastic imagery.
