CEDIC - Central European Deepsky Imaging Conferenc

hi guys,

on behalf of the organizers I would like to draw your attention to the first central european imaging conference for deepsky photography:

Calling all astro images!

We would like to invite you to the "Central European Deepsky Imaging
Conference"
(CEDIC'09), which will take place from Friday, April 3, to Sunday, April 5,
2009, in
Linz, Austria.

CEDIC'09 is the first international astro imaging conference in Europe. The
agenda
of the meeting, and many more details, are available at the CEDIC web site
at

http://www.cedic.at

Registration for the conference is also possible on
this web
site. Please note that the number of participants is limited, so please
register
early.

Among the many talks schedules for CEID are "The ESA/ESO/NASA Photoshop
FITS Liberator - in depth!" von Lars Lindberg Christensen (ESO/ESA) and
"Astrophotography at Paranal: from a DSLR to VLT" by Yuri Beletsky (ESO), to

name only two of the highlights. Many more interesting talks by leading
astro
imagers, presentations of the newest astro imaging hardware, a conference
dinner
in a relaxed atmosphere, and a opening event featuring top astro images in a

breathtaking gigapixel projection will make CEDIC'09 an event not to miss!

Please note that the city of Linz is also the European Capital of Culture in
2009.
So much more waits here for you to be discovered, besides CEDIC.

Conference language is English.

Dietmar,

This is both interesting and excellent!

Question: is there a major airport into the city or does one fly into a neighbouring city's airport and proceed from there?

The dates of the conference are good in relation to the phase of the moon and which means little to no lost imaging time (assuming clear skies).

Anthony.

Hi Dietmar,

that is gooooooood news

I'll check the dates with the boss (a.k.a. my wife) and then proceed to register.


Thanks
Luca
