On the evening of January 4, 2019, at the Trini Mendenhall Community Center, the first ever HAS Members Choice Astrophotography Contest in conjunction with the Post-Holiday Pot Luck.

A total of twenty entries from 11 astroimagers was displayed and approximately 80 members and guests attending the event voted on their favorites.

It was very evident to the members judging the entries that HAS has many talented and dedicated astroimagers. All of the entries were very well done and there were many comments received about the high quality of the work displayed. While it was not an easy choice for the members and guest attending, the winning entries were:
