It’s been wonderful working with the Royal Observatory, Greenwich (UK) on their Astronomy Photographer of the Year project this year.

If you’ve already been drawn into the cosmos of astronomy photography or you’re just plain curious about these magical photos of the night sky – you’ll be happy to hear that the exhibition of the finalists is now open! Hundreds of photos submitted to the group will also be showcased in a shiny interactive display.

There’s no need to worry if you don’t know your astrotag from your elbow. You can find out more by visiting the Astrophoto group pool and by viewing this delightful video explaining how astrotagging works.
