It was a good night- lots of people and a very pleasant atmosphere. I had the Orion neb on for most of the night. People were queuing for 1.5 hours and seemed reasonably happy. Not many grumbles this year!
I was very impressed with the standard of astrophotography, especially the deep sky efforts of Paul Storey. The bar has been raised a lot higher now, both equipment and processing wise. I was very suprised at which image won the competition, but I guess the judges rewarded the amount of processing effort involved, and those sorts of opportuntites are rare. And thanks Pat for your kind words!
cheers,
Andrew.
