It’s that time of the year again. This year’s Astronomy Photographer of the Year shortlist is another dizzying spectacle of stars, galaxies and northern lights.
A particularly favourite entry of mine was this stunning shot of a Royal Spoonbill sat on a branch in the moon - well, not actually in the moon, of course.
To coincide with the award, we’re asking our readers to share their best astronomy photographs of the year - just as we did last year. We can’t offer you an awards ceremony, but we can offer you the respect of the GuardianWitness’ stargazing community, which has been home to many spectacular galleries over the past few years.
