[APML] ANNOUNCE: AstroImage 2001 Seminar

[Charlie Oostdyk <Charlie@CCCD.EDU>]

ASTROIMAGE 2001 COMING SOON!

     The Orange County Astronomers and its SIG, Electronics Oriented
Astronomers, with California State University Physics Department and
Sky & Telescope magazine jointly sponsor AstroImage 2001, a one day
seminar on astronomical imaging.  It will be held at the Ruby Center
at California State University, Fullerton California, on Saturday,
March 10th.  Doors open at 0830 and the program will begin at 0900.
The program covering both electronic and silver-based astronomical
imaging, techniques, equipment, and applications will last until
about 1700.

     This is a continuation of the series of seminars on
astronomical imaging begun in 1977 as the Astrophoto Seminars.
It was renamed AstroImage several years ago when electronic imaging
became an increasingly important part of the content.  AstroImage
Seminars draw about 150 people from all over the country to present
and hear papers on the progress of amateur and professional
astro-imaging on both film and electronic media.  A trade show is
also held during the seminar, with about a dozen manufacturers and
outlets represented, showing the latest in camera, telescope, and
software products.  An important part of the event is an image show,
presented both electronically using computers with large screen
displays, as well as a print show for film images.

     All are invited to participate.  Admission to the event is $25
for the day, which includes complementary refreshments at 2 breaks.
You may pre-register for AstroImage 2001 by sending checks made
payable to Orange County Astronomers to:
