1. The AIC -ASTRO IMAGING CONFERENCE held everery years in Santa Clara - California (USA) is one of the most important international world congress, with up to 200 astrophotographers attending from USA, Latin America and Europe. 

There are very interesting links to the free downloadable conference material and contents since 2004 to 2011 meetings with remarkable information of hardware and processing tools related to top world class astrophotographers lectures.

Conference Presentation Archive


The primary purpose of the annual AIC gathering is to enable the sharing of information about image acquisition and processing techniques. This is accomplished though face to face networking among the conference attendees and presentations by leading, world class astrophotography experts. Many of those presentations are also available for downloading and subsequent review. 

The following list of links will return presentation archives from each conference. Not all presentations are available, however. Most presentations have been saved as PDF documents to protect the IP of the authors. Distribution, electronic or otherwise, or deconstruction of any presentation is prohibited without express permission of the author.
