The overall winner was an amazing photo of Jupiter, Io and Ganymede by Damian Peach showing detail on the two moons – well worth pouring over in high resolution. We were pleased to see some great solar astrophotos make the final list this year. In particular Dani Caxete’s photo of the ISS crossing the Sun was one of our favourites as this required nerves of steel to click the shutter at the precise moment.
Here’s Geoff, Els and me getting into the swing.
Here are the solar related photos that made it through to the finals. While not strictly images of the Sun the aurora photos couldn’t have been taken without it – and are beautiful to look at – so I’ve included them!
