I don't profess to be a great
"people" imager, but I wanted to share some pictures of the great
folks who are on the cutting-edge of present amateur CCD imaging inspiring us
with all their great technology. I used a Cannon A620 digital
camera on Saturday, 12 August 2006 to shoot these folks. The
presentations were very thoughtfully made with the complexities of
astroimaging brought down to earth and simplified. As well as
the folks pictured above was Alson Wong, M.D, Wayne Johnson (Mr.
Galaxy), Charlie Oostdyk, and others in attendance. If you
could not make it for the meetings, the OCA will provide a CD/DVD of
all the speaker's presentations. A guild on the topics spoken
there can be found
here.
Below each picture if listed with a
«-star, the
person's portrait/biographical page on the
Astrophotographers Portrait Pagewebsite that Mike Stecker hosts. We have Hundred & two
(102) Astroimagers at the
Astrophotographers Portrait Page
and if you would like to join, the simple requirements can be seen
here.
We were able to get quite a
few good AstroImagers from the AI Conference, but could always use more from
these caliber of folks.
