Please allow me to remind you that the new contests for the Advanced Requests, One-Click Observations, Pro Datasets are already going on so you can take part in this contest and, if luck helps you (together with your abilities), next month you may be proclaimed winner!
The May contest for One Click Observations and Pro Datasets features narrow-field astrophotography, meaning that the processed images need to come from any of our small pixel-scale telescopes (CHI-1, CHI-3 and SPA-2).
The rules for the May 2021 have slightly changed, so you might want to read the rules again by clicking here
In short, there are two major changes:
- Premium datasets also qualify for the Pro Dataset Contest. Be reassured that our judges will not have any bias towards Premium datasets, they will only consider the overall quality of your post-processing.
- The rules for the Advanced Request Contest are much more relaxed. Any advanced request qualifies, provided that it completes in the same month of the contest you're participating in
Thanks to everyone who participated to the April 2021 contest, and congratulations again to the winners!
