The competition, run by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS), aims to find the best astro-photographs taken in Ireland. The shortlisted photographer from Cork is Joe O’Sullivan from Clonakilty, in the ‘Out of this World’ Deep Sky category.

The judging panel includes: Professor Peter Gallagher, head of astrophysics at DIAS; Michael McCreary, president of the Irish Astronomical Society; Dr Lisa McNamee, co-founder Space Medicine Ireland and Alan Betson, Irish Times photographer and multiple winner of the Press Photographer of the Year award.
The winning images will be announced in August.
