For the first time, a concerted effort will begin to produce an IFAS Calendar (for 2015), and it needs your images to help! Profits from the sale of the Calendar will go to the Irish Federation of Astronomical Societies to help further promote astronomy and allied subjects through the efforts of its member clubs and societies.
What you need to do
Submit your favourite astrophoto on anything you want. Please DO NOT RESIZE IT to a smaller resolution or dimension. Send your image attached via email to ifas2015calendar@gmail.com

2. 300dpi, CMYK and in .jpg format.
3. Images not in 300dpi resolution can be optimised, but their overall quality would still be upscaled to accommodate 300dpi print and quality will be affected.
3. Images not submitted in CMYK colour format can be changed to this (from the typical RGB colour scheme used digitally onscreen), however please be aware that some colour alteration will occur during the converting process.
4. Include your IFAS username (REQUIRED), and details if you are a member of an astronomy club or society.
5. This is NOT exclusive to registered users in Ireland/Irish registrants of the IFAS website.
