Kevin Nelson will be presenting a special program on how to get the most out of a CCD imaging system at the Riverside AstroImaging Workshop for September 21-22, just before PATS. Kevin plans to focus on how a CCD system works so that the user can understand better how to capture good images.

Yes, that is TWO DAYS this year for the Riverside AstroImaging Workshop.

On Thursday afternoon (September 20), we will have an in depth workshop on Image Processing with Tony Hallas. That evening, we will have Tim Puckett present a special "Remote Imaging" session. Friday (September 21) will be group presentations from some of the most impressive astroimagers around. These include Tony Hallas, Mr. Eclipse Fred Espenak, Sky and Tel's Sean Walker, QSI's Kevin Nelson, Canon's Fred Metzler, Tom Bash (working on the general image acquisition and processing), and solar imager extraordinaire Gary Palmer.

Can't make both days? You will be able to register separately or as a two-day package for this. Registration is available at http://patsimage.org/
Any feedback, suggestions, questions, just send them along. Love to hear from you.

For those of you from far away--rooms are available at the Sheraton for a reduced rate......

Hope to see you there.
