2026 Astronomy Calendar
$19.95
The David Malin Awards, presented by the Central West
Astronomical Society (CWAS), are Australia’s premier
astrophotography awards, celebrating excellence,
artistry and technical achievement in capturing the
beauty of the night sky. Named in honour of Dr David
Malin – a pioneer of colour astrophotography whose
work transformed our understanding of the southern sky
– the awards recognise both amateur and professional
astronomers who push the boundaries of what is
possible through imaging. Each year, the awards
showcase the very best of Australia’s deep-sky, lunar,
planetary and wide-field astrophotography.
Tribute to the Original Calendar Producer
This calendar is also produced in tribute to David
Widdowson, the original creator and driving force
behind this astronomy calendar concept. David’s vision
and dedication laid the foundation for a publication that
celebrates the night sky and connects the astronomy
community through powerful imagery and storytelling.
As the Astronomical Society of Victoria continue this
calendar, we do so with deep respect for his legacy and
a commitment to honour the passion and
craftsmanship that he originally brought to life.
