Whether it be a supermoon, an orbiting planet or just a simple sunset, night sky enthusiasts are being challenged to capture the best image of the heavens. The Reach for the Stars photography competition, organised by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS) and part-judged by The Irish Times, will close soon. Its mission is simple – capture the best astro-photograph in Ireland between January 1st, 2020, and March 31st, 2021. With the closing date for entries on April 2nd, the competition will be judged by a panel of experts including Irish Times picture editor Brenda Fitzsimons. The prize also includes a €500 voucher for photographic or telescopic equipment and a 12-month premium digital subscription to The Irish Times.
