Advanced Imaging Conference 2006

My trip to the AIC 2006 conference held in San Jose, CA November 2006. This was my first time attending this conference, although I think this was its 3rd year. The focus was much more on "high-end" equipment and "advanced" techniques compared to NEAIC.

About to leave from Chicago; it seemed very appropriate that the moon was visible over my gate.

Where the convention talks were held. There was only one "track" of talks, all done here, unlike NEAIC which had several parallel sessions at times.

I liked the name of the room we met in; if you don't recognize it, look up the history behind the name :)

Me and my "dream scope": an RCOS 24" (they joked about giving rides on it because the mount slews quite fast).

Boltwood Cloud Sensor; the circle of small metal shafts is not a high-tech sensor, it is a low-tech deterrent to keep birds from landing on it!
