Great contest!

Thank you for entering my contest. This shot of The Milky Way over this amazing rock formation is really great!! The scenery of this picture really agree with the skies, and the 2 meteors or long exposure lights passing through the sky really make the picture more nice.

Thanks for entering my contest. This is a really nice photo! I love the way that the shot is positioned, almost on the edge of the cliff, with some of the grass on the edge of the cliff, the rock formations in the background, the sea, and then the pretty sky which looks mostly natural. Great job!

Thank you for entering my contest. This show of The Northern Lights is very pretty. I love how they are almost seeming to dance in a downward motion and in a circle, and there are a few stars in there as well, and the trees on the horizon are he final finishing touch.

Thank you for entering my contest. This is a really nice photo! It doesn't look TOO edited, but just enough to show the Northern Lights and the stars pretty well. The snow-capped mountains in the background are very nice as well.

Thank you for entering my contest. This is a great shot. I like how there are lots of stars, with some of the Milky Way added in there. The streaks of light or meteors are a great touch, the one above the tree caught my attention the most. The inky black of the trees finalize this photo.

Thanks for entering my contest. This photo has wonderful composition and position. I love how the landscape is just slightly lit up, not A LOT like some other photos, and the Milky Way is nicely visible and the stars are sprinkled thick.

Thank you for entering my contest! This shot of the moon in clouds, and the reflection of the moon's light on the water, is all very interesting and pretty. Changing it to black and white is the final touch, I really love in B/W.

Thank you for entering my contest. I had to look a couple of times to see if the hut in the photo was not squashed a bit for the photo, but it may just be small. I love how the sun is almost rising and the mountains in the back ground with the moon above them form a great perspective.

Thank you for entering my contest. This photo stood out to me as being one of the less-edited photos, and the comet in the photo as well. I love comets! I love how the sky is a changing tones of blue, but the stars are still pretty visible, and the comet and the tree siloughette is very nice.

Thank you for entering my contest. This must have been a hard shot to get! The ice in the water and the snowy mountains form a wonderful frame for the clouds and the Northern Lights in this photo. The few stars also are a good touch.

Please enter your photos of the sky at night, including objects such as the moon, comets, stars or the night sky in general. Photos may have some landscape included but the main focus must be the night sky. Photos may also be captured at dusk or dawn when still some evidence of stars. Please no photos of star trails. It would be good if you could keep your images looking as natural as possible with no heavy editing effects.
