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:

http://www.nmm.ac.uk/visit/exhibitio...r-of-the-year/

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

Interesting.

The standouts for me over the last year have been Rob Gendler's Vela Mosaic, Tom Davis's NGC2170, Mike Sidonio's Centaurus A and John Gleason's Tarantula.

There have been plenty of super shots but those for me were highlights and I guess personal taste plays a big part as there are many fine images.

Greg.

Have to agree with you Tom

This competition seems to require an entrant to do a lot just to enter
