"Hello, and congratulations from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich!
Your photo has been shortlisted in the Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2011 competition. To progress to the next round, we now need you to complete these three simple steps before 3 August 2011"

I don't care if I am finally picked or win anything, just being shortlisted is a nice shot in the arm, happy chappy for Saturday after a week trying to get over a cold and cloudy ****e weather for the last month and a half it's the pick me up I needed. Thanks also go to all on IIS who have giving me support and encouragement etc etc

Congrats Trev! Nice feeling isn't it!
Two of mine got on the list too - quite unexpected actually.
Cheers, Marcus

One I did back in April of NGC-5139 which was well received on a number of forums
congrats to Peter and Marcus, my effort pales in comparison to their work
didn't expect it as a first timer, in fact didn't think the image would be good enough to even be shortlisted

When I went to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich in October 2010 I had a good look at the exhibition for that year. I was sure I recognised something like 2/3 of the names from IIS. Had to laugh to myself .. IIS members taking over the astrophotography world

Ditto... 2 seems the magic number. Two my wide-filed landscapes were picked as well.
Good luck to everyone!

I came home from QLD Astrofest to find an email awaiting me as well.
With 2078 people submitting over 5000 entries, it's certainly a great honour to come this far. The quality of the images is superb.
Congratulations to all who have been shortlisted, and the best of luck in the next round.
