FYI, such images as these should be represented at the June AAS Meeting. Any takers?

The American Astronomical Society will soon be having its 224th meeting in Boston in the first week of June. And there is a new first time event: an Astrophotography Poster session on June 3rd that will feature excellence in amateur astrophotography. We invite skilled amateur astrophotographers to come show their work and how they've imaged the night sky in a forum that features the beauty and wonder we all know and love.

We're also doing an urban star party by the convention, and featuring special amateur-oriented talks that day. In general, this will be an amazing program, and as a Board Member of an amateur association in NYC, I can tell you that the Society is doing a great job supporting all of these events.
