When we announced the Comet ISON Photo Contest we welcomed entries of every sort — from wide-field nightscapes to high-power telescopic close-ups. Though the comet's visual performance fell short of expectations, our photographically inclined readers did not disappoint.
The editorial and art staffs selected 12 finalists from many fine submissions, then we turned over the final vote to our readers online. The winners you selected will each receive a prize from Celestron. In first place, Jerry Lodriguss wins an 8-inch EdgeHD on the Advanced VX Mount and a Skyris 274M Camera. Second prize, the Cometron 114AZ Telescope, goes to Scott Ferguson. And third prize, awarded to Bob Sandbank, is a pair of Cometron 12x70 Binoculars.
