Everyone who joins the group can then enter their best five pictures into the competition. It’s free and easy, and there are some great prizes up for grabs. All the photos in the group will also be displayed in an exhibition at the Royal Observatory Greenwich.
We’ve teamed up with Astrometry.net too. They have built a robot that will be going through photos in the group, adding astronomical information as machine tags and annotations. We’ve called these tags astrotags and we hope they’ll enable us to build a photo-collage of your space pictures. Of course, it would be great if others did cool stuff with astrotags too!
