ZWO Astronomy Photographer of the Year is the largest astrophotography competition in the world. Every year we receive thousands of entries, showcasing some of the most outstanding space photography from around the globe.

Now in its 17th year, the standard of the competition has never been higher – but who will win the coveted big prize? Our Members will get a chance to see the new exhibition before anyone else.

Not only that, but first, you'll be able to hear from one of our experts from the Museum to learn about how the winners captured these stunning images.
