Apart from the subject matter, the difference in technique is pretty enormous too, do you think there are enough people in the traditional photographic community, who do astro, to warrant it's own category..?
Anyway, just musings, no question that, as an astroimage  at least, your winning piece is a striking vista

Kudos for the win but Mike has a valid point. (Did I just say that?
)
The Landscape/Nature rules said: "Colour images must appear natural; images may also be entered as black and white conversions"
I'd read that as RGB or LRGB....i.e. a facsimile of what a human eye would see if it was uber-sensitive.
Yet a false colour NB palette, nebula image got up.
But hey, a win is a win, but I'd suggest the rules do need clarification
