Congrats to all.
I dropped a late mosaic bomb on the DMA's this year. All five entries were mosaics.

I did enter that one H - shown
here...but it was not good enough.
Also, the small Sagittarius star cloud, shown
here - but it was not good enough. Strange, that I was almost thinking of cheating with the Sagittarius image and entering it into the wide field category, alas I'm honest given it was taken with a telescope. I also entered MW9 shown
here (tough target) and Orion's Belt shown
here, both of which were also not good enough to make the cut.
Unfortunately, resolution restrictions apply for the comp which severely hinder the glory of mosaics. They need to be shown at much larger resolution to do them justice. The small Sagittarius star cloud and Eta mosaic reduced down to the 2000 pixel entry limit almost look like postage stamps showing absolutely no detail. Sure I could crop certain areas, but you'd lose the impact and we're talking massive images here. Upon reflection its no wonder they didn't have a chance - cant see the forest for the trees...

So my only DMA nomination of the bunch was the infamous Rho Ophiuchus Nebulae Complex mosaic shown
here. So we'll see what happens on the day. I'll make the effort to head to the awards this year so will catch up with a few new faces and usual suspects I hope.
PS. Eddie - Whilst your work on the 16" RC at MRO are killer images and very worthy of recognition, don't you remember
this thread?
Cheers
