NEAIC-2012 Schedule of Events
The conference starts Thursday morning and runs until Friday evening. Continental breakfast and a hot lunch are included each day, you also receive two-day tickets to NEAF, where you can attend additional talks and optional workshops, and participate in the world's best astronomical vendor exhibition.

Again this year will be presenting our covered 5-hour beginning astro-imaging course this year given by Jay Ballauer of TX.

A first for 2012 we will be holding two after-dinner Thursday evening workshops, these work shop are at the request of our attendees and how they are structure were also set with their feedback. The workshops will play off the day time talk given by the speakers. Each workshop is open to a maximum 25 attendees and will cost $25.00 per attendee and require pre-registration. This is one on one time with the best image processers and DSLR people in the world. Tony's workshop will require a very good working knowledge of Photoshop CS5, A laptop with CS5 installed is a must if you want to get the most out of this Workshop. Robert's Workshop will focus on Lunar and planetary imaging Again a laptop is a must if you want to get the most out of this Workshop. Robert will have CD's with all the software need for this workshop. If you are interested in attending Robert's or Tony's workshop please call me before sending your registration to make sure space is available.
