Astrophotographer of the Year 2019 exhibition

[captain nemo1701]

Well, bought my train ticket for my annual trek into the smoke (aka Laaandaaan if you watch Eastenders) for this. Used to be free at the observatory but after last years 10th anniversary, they've realised they can make a bit more cash now by relocating it to the maritime museum & charging entry.

That being said, it's a good exhibition to go to, stunning photography. I'll also indulge in one a of my fave things to do - take the express Thames Clipper from Greenwhich back into the city.

Anyone else going?.

Tried to get a picture of Jupiter (I think) last night with my phone through a toy telescope. Is it too late to submit an application?

+1 for top one. That’s got a symmetry and sense of composition that the one below hasn’t.

You're looking at it from the wrong side of your laptop.

It's the right way round, but his eyes are in a different order.

Looks like a spot on Uranus.

Looks like a spot on Uranus.

It's big and red.

I see, but I thought it has a wonderful sense of depth if you contrast the far horizon with the foreground.
