The Top 10 Best Astrophotographers in Australia

[Mike Salway]

Australia has some very very talented amateur astrophotographers, producing images that are among the best in the world. Our beautiful dark skies, combined with the stunning objects visible in the Southern Hemisphere, give Australian Astrophotographers a bountiful choice of targets on which to produce their inspiring work.

I wanted to feature and profile these brilliant individuals and showcase their best or their favourite images by compiling my Top 10 Best Astrophotographers in Australia.

Stunning is a very good word to describe these images. Terrific.

Fabulous images and commentary to go with it, Mike. Glad you added a bit more eye candy in there with some of the other honourable mentions.

Holy crap on a cracker...it never ceases to amaze me how good a photo some people are able to take without going into space first and hooking onto the Hubble Space Telescope. All those shots in the link are jaw-dropping.

The acquired skill, obvious talent, hard work, and imagination to create those images is astounding to me.

Thanks for sharing.

Spectacular work by some very talented people.

And yes, you most certainly belong on that list. I'm a big fan.

[Bill Boehme]

Very impressive work by very talented people and I agree that you should be one of those on the top 10 list. Also, thank you for your work as a member of the RegiStax 5 development team. This latest version is very nice.
