Australia's premiere Astro-Imaging event, the David Malin/CWAS awards

gave the winning 2016 deep sky prize for the above SBIG STX16803 captured image. (Copyright Peter J Ward 2016)

The image was also selected as NASA's APOD for May 27th, 2016.

Time and again SBIG users set the gold standard for astro-imaging, due superior guiding,

relaible software and seamless systems integration. Isn't it time you made the step up?

"This amazingly detailed image is of the southern sky's most interesting nebula around its most dynamic and unstable star, Eta Carina.

The whole frame reveals excellent colour balance, beautifully controlled dynamic range and admirable fine structure, visible thoughout. Beautiful!" (David Malin)
