Astrophysicist Angel R. López-Sánchez blogs [es] about the recent XXI State Congress of Astrophysics [es] held in Granada, Spain, on may 1-4, 2014. During the event, there was a astrophotography contest and time-lapse video, about which Angel notes:
Three out of four winners are Andalucian, and this shows once again the great impact that astronomers from Southern Spain have had during this process. No wonder, there wasn't a national event like this one in Andalucia since 1985, when the Astronomy Society of Malaga held one in that city.
