Tasman Gems (2024 Custom Print)

Skyscrapes category winner 2024

Astronomy Photographer of the Year is an annual competition featuring the world’s greatest space photography. Photographers from across the globe compete to take home the prestigious title.

"The rugged peaks of the Tasman Valley reaching up to the impressive features of the Southern Hemisphere Summer night sky, including the hydrogen clouds of the Gum Nebula (central red region), and various other regions of active star formation stretched throughout the fainter arms of the Milky Way. This is definitely an area of the night sky that tends to be less photographed, due to the faintness of the Milky Way band and the skill and gear required to capture it well, however, it is quite stunning! Also captured in the image are the large and small Magellanic Clouds (on the top right side of the frame), Sirius and Canopus (the two bright central stars), and the constellation of Orion to the left, above a nice display of red and green airglow."

Our Custom Prints and frames are all handmade to the highest standards. As each Custom Print and frame is made to your required specification, they take a little longer to prepare. Custom Prints are printed on sustainable, matt 250gsm conservation digital paper. Unframed prints are carefully rolled with acid free tissue paper inside a sturdy cardboard tube. Frames are made in the UK from sustainably-sourced woods.

Custom Prints (those which are customised by choosing a size and frame) are made to order and therefore take a little longer than our standard fulfilment times. Please read our Delivery and Returns page for our latest information about UK and international shipping. Custom Prints cannot be sent via our FedEx delivery service option.

Please check the size and frame options carefully so that you are happy as once ordered we will be unable to change. Every purchase supports the work of Royal Museums Greenwich.
