For those of you interested in astrophotography, I thought it would be appropriate to post a link to the Royal Observatory's yearly awards. Hopefully posting a link to a dpreview article is OK? Please feel free to take this post down if not...

This is an amazing set of images, shot on all kinds of equipment, under skies varying from the darkest on the planet to backyards in big cities, by everyone from beginners to seasoned and dedicated astroimagers. It is not only a fun viewing experience all by itself, but it shows what is possible at all levels of the hobby.

Hope many of you find it a fun read!

Hey Mike, thanks for linking that.

There was some amazing work that got awards. There were a couple of head scratchers where I didn't think the photo was truly that great, especially the city one. But 90% of them really were amazing.
