Ah great a real thread about this great event! Phew! :thumbsup:

Congratulations to all whose images got sifted out of the mountain of entries and rightly rewarded. Some great images in there, a great write up about them all too.

:clap:

yes but ABC failed to mention the Sun runner up, , Peter Ward, and I don't think much of the image of Baileys Beads that won overall in that category

I was surprised to see FedEx were making a delivery to my home address today.

Given I'd not purchased anything wondered what on earth it was.

Seems Christmas came early. Not one, but two APOTY year books :D

The colour reproduction and print quality is superb and it was awesome to see in this year's edition
Phil Hart and Colin Legg's Exmouth eclipse image on the opposing page to my other short listed image.

P.S. Don't cry for me, I've not moved to Argentina (page 40)

As someone who is still in the relatively early days of astrophotography, the work that's been represented here - winners, runners up, and all - is nothing short of inspirational. Congratulations to all, and particularly those who have featured in the prizes.
