Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2009

Considering the quality of the images I see on IIS, I thought I'd draw your attention to this.

The Royal Observatory Greenwich (England) is running this photographer of the year award. As far as I can see it is open to anyone and is free. There are 4 categories:
1) Terrestrial (eg Moonset shots - no telescope needed here)
2) Solar System
3) Deep Space
4) Under 16 years old.

Entries close July 19. THe website is:

It looks as if you need to join a yahoo group, Flicka, to add your nomination. However you can view all the entries so far without joining (click join group, there was 281 entries already when I looked).

The media arm of this venture is Sky at Night magazine, but I don't think any mags that have announced this has reached our news stands yet. Considering S@N have already published a few aussie images in the past, they already have a taste for the quality of work coming from the colonies.

Good luck

Regards

Glenn
