About this image

Thought I would share my images from the Insight Investment Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2019 competition, whose winners were announced a few weeks back at the Maritime Museum in Greenwich (show runs until May 2020).

I was fortunate enough to have this awarded a High Commended accolade and is an image of Saturn taken using a ZWO methane band filter.

Congratulations on the award Martin! It is interesting to see Saturn in methane rather than the more usual colour or b&w images.
