Well done Andy, its a fine image for sure, this region has been successful for you, huh?
Just curious, a multi filter, multi sub frame astroimage, wouldn't normally be the traditional sort of fair entered in a nature/wildlife category, so how does the judging work when viewing a narrowband nebula image, that required complicated, multi day acquisition and significant pre and post processing, with other more traditional nature shots, of birds, bears whales and mountains etc ie "Earth" based., most of which I imagine would be one click on site shots, plus maybe a little enhancement in PS or similar..? Do many astroimages get entered into this category? Just interested in your thoughts given your experience as a photographic judge and your master standing within the pro photographers circles (AIPP?)
Did you play the drums there during the presentation?
Cheers
Mike
