Welcome to the SAS Astrophotography Processing Challenge!

Submission will be open from now until 5 PM Wednesday BEFORE the meeting. 

Deadline for THIS Processing Challenge: 25 March 2026 - 5 PM AEST

How does the challenge work?

1. Download this month's dataset and process it in your software of choice.

2. Once you're happy, upload your attempt to this form. 

(Please include some basic steps of your workflow too - this is so everybody can learn.)

3. You'll have unlimited attempts until the deadline, but only the most recent submission will be published to the EH and will be voted on. Submissions will be anonymised ahead of publication.

How will the winner be selected? 

Winners will be picked through a vote at the next meeting. A poll will be set up at the meeting, and everyone in person and online can vote. 

What's the prize? 

For March, the winner of the challenge will be given 1 entry into the $1000 AstroAnarchy Voucher.
