The Dividing Line: Wide-Field winner
This image captures two very different structures within the Orion molecular cloud complex: the bright nebula M78 and the dark nebula LDN 1622. M78 is illuminated primarily by two young B-type stars whose scattered blue light reveals the surrounding dust.

Zenith: Nightscapes winner This aurora was a once-in-a-lifetime event so the photographer knew to go somewhere special, trudging through the bush to the beach as the southern lights danced above. ‘This photo is one of the 6,000 plus I took but it highlighted an extreme amount of activity although it still remains difficult to grasp the scale of how large it was.’ Photograph: Brighton Seeley #astrophotography #Aurora #AltText
