Stargazers from across Sussex captured the cosmos, the Moon and even a comet in the skies above the county.
The images were taken in the national park, one of only 21 international dark sky reserves in the world.
Budding photographers have the chance to capture their own pictures of the galaxy from the South Downs in the upcoming Dark Skies Festival next month.
Nine days of celebrations will explore the wonders of the dark skies of the South Downs, with seafront star parties, night-time walks, celestial storytelling and planetarium shows.
Dan Oakley, dark skies expert for the South Downs National Park, said: “We’re pleased to be back for our eighth Dark Skies Festival with more in-person events than ever.
“There’s something for everyone this year, whether you want to get hands-on and see some stunning constellations through a telescope, or you want to connect with nature at night on a tranquil walk.”
The festival is taking place between February 10 and 18, with more information about events on the South Downs National Park website.
