Australia's first major astro imaging conference, the FLI AAIC 2011, is on!

The brain-child of Mark Bolton (Bolts_Tweed), a lecturer at Griffith University, the AAIC2011 is the first conference of its kind in Australia, specifically targeted at Astrophotographers but open to all Astronomy enthusiasts.

The conference is on from the 8th - 10th July 2011, and is being held at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Surfers Paradise, Queensland.

The programme features 3 days of workshops, demonstrations and lectures by some of Australia's most prominent professional and amateur astrophotographers, as well as two renowned international guest speakers - Ken Crawford and Rogelio Bernal Andreo.

Registration is now open, and numbers are limited! So get in early to reserve your spot and receive the early-bird discount.
