Tony it is actually a really cool top prize given this is an astronomy competition, maybe in later years you guys could approach FLI, SBIG or even QSI about having one of their cameras as a prize and Canon still presenting this camera as a prize.
edit. I think this prize is better than prize money. So top idea.
I know I was Only after a Bite.The beauty of the 60Da is you can still take daytime images Then Jam it on the back of a Telescope and Do Astroimaging with it or a lens and do widefield shots.They probably won't Produce a lot of them so to own one would be a Buzz.We had to wait a long time From the 20Da to the 60Da.-Tony.
Got mine in with payment with 13 minutes to spare! Phew. Late thanks to a busy week and getting sick!
The 60Da would be great to win, with an adaptor to put my Nikon lenses on! The little pocket Canon IXUS I won in the comp last year is great and I think I value it more having won it in this comp. I say to people when I show them to camera - "I won that!"
Good luck everyone!
for those that are going can there be some posting of the results and happy snaps? Unfortunately i cant be there, or my Daughter, though i wished i could!!
I'll try and do what I did last year and post the winners names with my trusty iPhone! Fingers crossed there's good net coverage again!

Me too I'll I phone as many results through as I can. Between the pair of us we should be able to cover the event Wayne.
Ah have fun everyone! Look forwards to seeing the results come through!
Would have been good to get there but we have all been sick over the last few weeks.
Would be awesome to get a live feed!
