106 entries this year (with no Comet McNaughts this time) so the best year yet and David said the standard of entries was so high that it took him an entire day of judging to settle the awards the longest it had ever taken him and most of this was due to the Amateur Deep Sky category
Here are some photos of the event (from my web site so kinda from my perspective sorry but interesting I hope?)
