Kein Nachruf. Die Nachricht dieses neu in's Leben gerufenen Preises hat ihn wohl noch rechtzeitig erreicht.
AIC Pleiades Award 2009:
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">Zitat:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">The AIC Board of Directors have minted a new award named, after the famous Seven Sisters in the northern sky, the Pleiades Award.
Like the brilliant star cluster that inspired its name, the Pleiades accolade will be bestowed on the very brightest, most exceptional imagers who are either youthful in years or relatively young to the endeavor of astro-photography. Its purpose is to recognize and encourage those few outstanding individuals who do not yet meet the criteria for Hubble status but demonstrate skills and personal qualities that were the early hallmarks of people who subsequently received astrophotography's highest honor after many years.
Accordingly, the Advanced Imaging Conference Board of Directors is pleased to announce that we recently informed Mr.Daniel Marquardt of our unanimous decision to enthusiastically name him as the first recipient. We're also happy to report that Daniel (and his family) was delighted when he received our news! A picture of his plaque accompanies this article. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
