http://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/astronomy-photographer-of-the-year/2014-winners

This year the Royal Observatory’s annual Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition received a record 1700 entries. We had images from astrophotographers in over 50 countries from as far afield as Colombia, Hong Kong, New Zealand and the Philippines. For the first time we even received a photograph taken from the edge of space! The photographs show a beautiful and diverse array of astronomical highlights from the last two years.

With the help of our friends at BBC Sky at Night Magazine and Flickr, we asked you to submit photographs in the categories of Earth and Space, Our Solar System, Deep Space and Young Astronomy Photographer of the Year. We also award three special prizes: one for photographs depicting People and Space, one for photographs taken using a Robotic Scope and one for newcomers to astrophotography, the Sir Patrick Moore Prize for Best Newcomer.



There are some very worthy winners here. The "Aurora over a Glacier Lagoon" photograph is particularly stunning!

This is great. A good blend of art and scientific purpose. The rest feel too National Geographic documentary, but whatever, there's only so many ways you can take pictures of stars. :rofl2:
