At Nightfall in Borrego Springs (October 11-14), there will be a series of talks about Imaging and Amateur Astronomy.
More details are available at http://www.rivastro.org/ras_imaging_event.html
This year will feature a number of workshops, including an all-day Imaging Workshop. Jim Burnell will be there to work with you on imaging and processing techniques. He, along with Richard Berry, literally "wrote the book," The Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing, and the powerful AIP4WIN software that goes with it.
Jim will be on the imaging field at night, and will present an all-day workshop on Saturday. His sessions are hands on, with ample opportunity for questions and interaction. He will be using AIP4WIN to show how powerful image processing software can bring out the best in your astro-imaging data. However, his session will be limited in enrollment.
Other workshops of interest to amateurs are about Palomar Observatory, introductory image processing, solar viewing, the DSI Imager, and getting the most of your equipment.
