This year, my colleague and author of the French astronomy cameras blog, Aurélie Le Fort and I will be attending ATT in Essen, Germany.
The event, which is being organized by Walter-Hohmann-Sternwarte, will take place on May 31, 2008. It is one of the more important astronomy related events in Germany.
If you would like to meet up with us, please drop us an e-mail, with “ATT 2008 Meet Up” in the subject. We still have a few time slots free.
See you there!
This year I had the opportunity and the pleasure to attend the entire NEAIC meeting at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York. This two day conference offered astronomy buffs many great talks on beginner, intermediate, and advanced astro-imaging.
With the schedule packed with enthusiasts from Solar, Stellar, and Planetary imaging, I found it difficult to attend all of the wonderful talks. “The little DMK” seemed to be quite a hot topic in many of the presentations this year, as well as, the social discussions (and quarrels) that followed.
As a fairly new player on the astronomy imaging scene, The Imaging Source astronomy cameras did quite well taken to its paces by so very many imaging experts!
Six of our fine resellers from “The Americas” attended the event, three of which stayed throughout the weekend selling our products. OPT, Adirondak, and Woodland Hills all ran purchasing specials on The Imaging Source cameras for both NEAIC and for the subsequent NorthEast Astronomy Forum.
Here I am in the middle of the imaging mob with John and Jim from Adirondack Astronomy.
Of the most impressive presentations, below are a couple photos from a presentation by Robert Reeves, the author of Introduction to Webcam Astrophotography. In this talk, Mr. Reeves shows the audience why the DMK 41AF02.AS is his pick for high quality, low noise, and low cost astrophotography solutions:
If this is an indication of the coming year’s success for The Imaging Source cameras in the astronomy imaging market, I look forward to seeing all of our customers and dealers at this year’s RTMC in Big Bear!

Astronomy Now, the organizer of AstroFest 2008, put on a fantastic event, which was visited by many thousand people. They cannot be praised enough. Our special thanks go out to Keith Cooper and Wendy Collins from Astronomy Now for receiving us.
Aurélie and I really enjoyed looking at the massive range of telescopes, books and astronomy cameras, in addition to talking to many of the guests. The event was a great opportunity to met up with a number of people, from the press and our resellers.
You can read more blog entries about AstroFest 2008, using Google’s blog search or over at Technorati.
Below are a few impressions of the event:
Aurélie and I are now on the road from our European Headquarters in Bremen, Germany, headed towards London, UK, to the European AstroFest in the Kensington Conference and Events Centre. With a bit of luck, we should be there in the early afternoon.
Our timetable is filled with interesting meet-ups to present and discuss our astronomy cameras.
We look forward to meeting you all. See you this afternoon 
This year, one of my colleagues and I will be attending the European AstroFest in the Kensington Conference and Events Centre in London, UK.
