>ASTRONOMY PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

Royal Observatory, Greenwich London
27 January 2013


Astronomy Photographer of the Year - Now in its fifth year, the Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition and exhibition continues to showcase some incredible images from amateur astrophotographers all around the world, showcasing beautiful objects from within our solar system and far into deep space.

The snow has been washed away, it's a bright, blustery Sunday morning, and it's time to take a stroll in Greenwich Park. While enjoying our walk, we noticed posters at the Royal Observatory for the Astronomy Photographer of the Year show. We popped in and really enjoyed the small exhibition. Amazing images captured by some truly incredible amateur astrophotographers. My 3 favourite images are shown. Out of this world!
