I was looking at those earlier, some great stuff there, loved the shots of the Aurora really beautiful.

Difficult to choose a favourite, they are all stunning

[LukeSkywatcher]

Well done to everyone who entered the competition. These really are some of the most stunning images i have seen in the competition over the yrs. My particular favourite catagory is the "Earth and Space". I just love the connection between the place we live and the universe.

OMG, the Spaghetti Nebula is just LUSH.
