Photofields presents the Southern Sky Astrophotography 2024 exhibition, the 20th edition of the David Malin Awards.

Photography and astronomy have a long association at Sydney Observatory. Henry Chamberlain Russell, the resident Government Astronomer, began photographing the sky from Sydney Observatory in the early 1870s. His photographs of the Magellanic Clouds were internationally acclaimed. This tradition of photographic observation continues today in Southern Sky Astrophotography.

Awards presented by the Central West Astronomical Society for AstroFest and sponsored by CSIRO Space and Astronomy.
