Just got back from Parkes.
Once again, congrats to the winners! (...and HM's

)
Martin's NGC3718 was truly superb, and well deserving of the overall prize.


What was was interesting was the variation an innovation in this year's submissions. Some truly beautiful imagery was showcased by DSLR users.
Also a heartfelt thanks to John Sarkissian who's efforts always seem to go above an beyond the call !
John, now in need of a well earned break, indicated CWAS he will be "mixing things up" with categories etc. next year, in an effort to make the "Malins"
well and truly a world class Astrophotography event.
