Each presenter was asked to submit his/her presentation in .doc or .pdf
format for inclusion on a CD.  Both of mine are in .pdf format.  The Friday
and Saturday segments I did are about 100 pages as an illustrated .pdf file.
It was darn near like writing another astrophoto book!  The CDs will be
distributed to all conference attendees in the near future, but I am sure
the OCA folks would be happy to arrange a deal for non-attendees.

I know I am sure looking forward to being able to discect Ron Wadowski's
talk about using the zone system in Photoshop.  In real time, it went so
fast I couldn't absorb it all.  And Ron Dantowitz' video astronomy was
awesome.  His lunar imaging with video resulted in lunar surface resolutions
that are comparable to the wide-area mapping passes done by the Lunar
Orbiter 4 and 5 satellites back in the mid-1960s.  I kid you not!  Surface
resolution of about 120 meters!

I "think" there was talk of putting compressed video of some of the
presentations on the CD, but I can't be sure about that.  At any rate, the
CD will be a heck of a good resource.
