Title: September 2011 Astrophotography Contest Winners
Post by: Javio on 2011 October 01 11:02:18

Greetings to everybody!

Thank you very much to everyone for participating in this fourth edition of the PixInsight Monthly Astrophotography Contest. According to the points 8 and 10 of the contest rules (http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=3098.0), when the number of submitted images is seven or more, the monthly contest can have up to three winner images. In this month's edition, there is an unusual situation since there is a draw in both the second and the third price.

Congratulations to the five winners of this month! We hope to see everybody in further editions of the PixInsight Monthly Astrophotography Contest.
