Just got back from CWAS.
It was great to see many familiar faces plus quite a few new ones on the awards night. Congrats to Troy for his well deserved overall win
David was in fine form, providing as usual very insightful commentary on the various entries along with a few tweaks to various images to make them a little more soothing to his eye
... It's quite a coup for CWAS to have this living legend time and again provide his knowledge and stewardship.
Though I don't normally attend the conference, with a Keynote address by Noble Laureate Brian Schmidt and presentation by the founder of TWAN Babak Tafreshi made this a compulsory event on my calendar. Both were extremely engaging and informative.
My thanks to CWAS' John Sarkissian for once again doing such a brilliant job in organizing what is surely Australia's premiere astroimaging contest. Thanks also to Canon Australia, who have been a fabulous sponsor and who provided over $15k in prizes
