2016 Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year Competition. 2016 年度天文攝影師比賽

Some of the best entries so far in the 2016 Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition. There are two weeks left to enter, and the winners will be announced in September. Here: Aurora over Laksvatn Fjord, Laksvatn, Norway. The aurora borealis dances in the skies over the town of Laksvatn, with the Milky Way to the left. The image is a single shot with no compositing, only post-processing to bring out the aurora, and some colour corrections. The photographer Matt Walford said: “I love the way the northern lights look like they are just wistfully dancing over the fjord, framed by the mountains on either side”.

Earth’s Rise through the Universe, Hilo, US. Taken from the highest mountain of Hawaii, Mauna Kea, and overlooking the lava fields, the Milky Way mirrors the alignment of the horizon soaring over the volcanoes Mauna Loa (left) and Hualalāi (right). (Photo by Gianni Krattli/National Maritime Museum)
Monument Stars, Monument Valley, US. Despite being taken during the lunar eclipse of 2015, Albert Dros actually didn’t shoot the moon but took the opportunity to capture the amazing dark sky. Coming from a country (the Netherlands) with so much light pollution, this marked the first time the photographer had seen the Milky Way so clearly. The red glow in the sky is from the extraordinary atmosphere during the lunar eclipse – an experience Dros said he would never forget. This shot is a panorama comprised of three vertical shots.

The Journey, La Palma, Spain. The Milky Way arcs over the Caldera de Taburiente national park. The lights from Tenerife, La Gomera and El Hierro island are also visible in the distance. The image is an 18-shot panorama. (Photo by Javier Martinez Moran/National Maritime Museum)
