Every year, the Central West Astronomical Society (CWAS) of New South Wales invites amateur photographers to showcase their celestial views during AstroFest. This year, Stefan Buda took home the top prize for his detailed lunar landscape, The Lunar Apennines.

Categories span from distant nebulae and spiral galaxies in the Deep Sky category to the Milky Way and auroras playing above breathtaking earthscapes. Each image tells a story of cosmic wonder through human eyes.

A 2027 calendar featuring these stunning photographs is available for purchase, offering a year full of stellar moments under your roof. Explore the entire gallery on their website to marvel at our universe’s infinite beauty.
