Thanks, Jack. I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to use PI after all. :) Now, where did I put that users manual? :D

On the passenger's seat, in the DeLorean?

I haven't been to AIC before, but I will try to go this year!

I wanted to go to the 2010 conference, but was too busy with work and other duties. I've been excited to go to an AIC, so as to geek out on all the high-tech imaging gear, software, and methods. The addition of a PI presentation this year makes it extra tempting. I was sorry to have missed RBA's talk at the 2010 AIC.

So that's where Juan is hiding the documentation. ;)

Thanks for the encouraging comments. Look forward to meeting many of you there.

Nice move by Ken & co.

I still remember Jack Harvey's PixInsight workshop in 2008. How many were we, Jack? 10 people? The room was almost empty, while next room, the ImagesPlus guy had such crowd that some people were standing.

Things have changed, and I'm certain you'll have a full room this time around.

BTW, save me a seat in the front row! ;)

RBA and Sander  I remember you two as about the handful that had an interest, maybe a couple of others.  I think 10 is a generous estimate<G>.  Probably half were there to sit down and rest as they had been standing at ImagesPlus.  Congrats on yesterday's APOD RBA.  Steve good luck.  don't try to teach to much as these are new concepts IMO.  If you get across the idea of linear vs non linear and go thru the tools for a simple workflow you will score.  With left over time maybe some pearls like your background work.

I am sure you will do a great job and will have more than 10!

Well, not that it matters, but I assure you there were definitely not more than 15 people, and that's aiming high.
You're obviously getting old ;)

And now I remember you! You're the one who kept interrupting Jack  ;D

Anyway, this is about Steve's workshop, which is going to rock! (peer pressure  :angel: )
