Shimmering phenomena in the night sky - and starry sights billions of light years away - take a look at some of the finalists in the 2015 Insight Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition.
"Utterly enthralling with moments of brilliance" is how the comedian, impersonator and amateur astronomer Jon Culshaw describes the shortlisted entries in the competition to become the Astronomy Photographer of the Year.
With his personal interest in the cosmos, Culshaw was one of the judges this year.
He says he was aged about seven or eight when he got the space bug.
He looked for UFOs, was fascinated by lunar eclipses and always watched the Sky at Night.
