Greenwich APOTY 2023

[Peter Ward]

Not long to go now.

Royal Greenwich Observatory's 2023 Astronomy Photographer of the year
awards will be announced in a video presentation on the 14th of this month (GMT)

There are a few Aussies in the mix.

Good luck to those on the short list :thumbsup:

[Peter Ward]

Congratulations to Paul Montague and James Baguley for making
it onto the podium for their HC images at Royal Greenwich :cool:

Some other bloke did OK too :whistle:

There were a number of other Aussies who made the short list,
which is no easy feat given the 4000+ entrants from across the globe.
:thumbsup:

Thanks Peter. And congrats to you too.

The Greenwich comp might not get much traction here, but the reality is, it doesn't require you use Brand-X gear or be part of a club or clique where your mates give you wink and nudge to compete.

An open competition is tough.

You've now stood on the podium of a global AP stage, so well deserved kudos Paul. :2thumbs::2thumbs:

Hi

Is someone able to inform me of the equipment used to take the winning Andromeda shot. For all the publicity I can find no reference to this.

[Peter Ward]

The winning team used Taka EDXIV's, 3nm filters, EQ6 and IMX455 based cameras.

Plus a very impressive +110 hour exposure time for a well deserved win.

:thumbsup:
