What’s your favorite outdoor moment from 2015? Don’t just tell us, though, show us in “Remember in December” – the theme for this month’s “Change Your View with Celestron and StarTalk” Photo Contest.

We’ve already picked this past week’s winner. It’s StarTalk fan @travisnrousseau from Instagram. Travis’ photo is shown in the graphic above, and he took it using a Sony A600.

Here’s how Travis describes his photo on Instagram: “Milky Way behind my home… Pretty lucky to live here, it’s an amazing place in the day with too many things to do. Once night falls the beauty of space surrounds me, how could you not love this?

One Week Left to Enter the “Change Your View with Celestron and StarTalk” Photo Contest.

Travis has won an International Dark-Sky Association 2016 calendar, as well as being entered into the monthly drawing for a Celestron COSMOS 60 AZ Telescope, shown here:

Last week, we announced that StarTalk fan Dana Pugh from Instagram had won the monthly November telescope drawing.
