Astronomy Winners

Today the Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2010 exhibition opened at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London. This is a must-see exhibition for anyone interested in either astronomy or photography, and admission is free. Many of the images are gobsmacking, example this Deep Space Winner: Orion Deep Wide Field by Rogelio Bernal Andreo (USA). The overall winner was Tom Lowe (USA) for Blazing Bristlecone (title link). Paul Kerley has produced an excellent slideshow of winning entries for BBC News, with a discerning voiceover by one of the judges, who sought what Coxsoft Art is always seeking in an image: the Wow! factor.
