SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and
Instrumentation is the most prestigious
event for experts working on ground- and
space-based telescopes and the
technologies and instrumentation that
enable powerful discoveries about our
past and provide glimpses into our
future. No other event draws the number
of elite researchers, innovators, and
companies whose collective efforts push
the frontiers of space and enable the
building and maintaining of the
important telescopes of the world. The
2012 conference, held in Amsterdam this
year, will cover most of the relevant
technological areas in astronomy.
