Hello all
I am a bit late in getting this news to you all: I am pleased to announce that my image "Lookout" took out the Wide Field image category at Australia's most prestigious astrophotography competition The David Malin Awards earlier this month. My image "Beam Me Up" was also awarded an Honorable Mention in the themed category People and Sky. I had a great time meeting many fellow astrophotographers at the award ceremony. You can read about and view all the winning images here if you wish:

Some of you may remember that last year I got the cover image of the Ice-In-Space calender, well I am also pleased to announce that this year whilst I did not win the cover image again, I did manage to get two of my images as "Months" in the calender. You can view the other images here if you wish:

I went to the opening of an exhibition that features about 14 of my images a week ago. It was organised by the astronomy society I am a member of and the local council. There are about 50 images in total and a few displays of things like telescopes and meteorites. I had no part in getting the images printed, but I must say they all look fantastic printed so big. So if you are local to my area or traveling through I can highly recommend checking out the "From Earth To The Cosmos" exhibition at the Albury Library and Museum.
So apart from exhibition openings and award ceremonies, I have also been doing a lot of talks about my photography to local groups lately. Add in my normal day job and there has been little time to do much else. Somewhat thankfully the weather has not been great for night photography. I am so behind in responding to comments and thanking for watching me on this site at the moment. My apologies if you are waiting for an answer. August is looking much more user friendly for me, so I will hopefully catch up then.
Lastly before you go. The photo contest that I am part of the judging panel for closes at the end of July. We have some amazing software packages to give away to the various winners. You have to be in it to win it.
