Showcasing top entries from the 2022 David Malin Awards astrophotography competition, this exhibition explores a series of awe-inspiring astrophotography from across Australia.   

Held annually by the Central West Astronomical Society, the David Malin awards are open to Australian astronomers and photographers.
