will be conducting a Special Imaging Workshop (two full days of intensive, concentrated instruction) in addition to 2 general sessions for the Fall Star Party. This is the same basic workshop offered at the Mt Lemmon Observatory for $875, plus the time and expense of getting to Arizona! You can be one of 20 people (reservations are first come, first served.) to take advantage of having Adam on the East Coast and pay only $400 for the workshop.   The workshop will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday (11/2 - 11/3).
