A Winter Ghost
Shortlisted in the ZWO Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, Stars and Nebulae 2025 category
The Astronomy Photographer of the Year is the biggest astrophotography competition in the world, with thousands of participants from all over the globe.
To have my photo shortlisted and printed in the official competition book, together with another 139 beautiful images, is a great achievement that a lot of people only dream of.
The top 100 photo are on display in the National Maritime Museum, part of Royal Museums Greenwich until September 2026 and I am very proud to have my photo in their public exhibition.
I am really honoured by this accomplishment, and, who knows, maybe in the future I will get even closer to the top.
