Feedback on the 2010 Conference

"The conference was spectacular! This was my 4th year attending the conference and the lineup of speakers and topics was just as good as the first year. Plenty to learn, great accommodations, excellent company and time to socialize with fellow astro-imagers of varied skill levels - what's not to like?!" - Anthony Kroes

"Very well planned program, with interesting speakers, relevant presentations and a great venue." - Wendell Sherry

What sets MWAIC apart from the others

This year will be the fifth annual Midwest Astro-Imaging Conference. Our imaging conference is not the largest. Our conference does not have an astronomy and telescope expo taking place immediately afterwards. But we do have the same quality of speakers and presentations as the others. Don't take our word for it, read the glowing testimonials from our attendees.

We offer somethings that the others do not.
