The revolution in small-telescope science is directly traceable to compact telescopes, affordable CCD cameras, and other developments that have now been produced commercially for several decades. Many firms are now supporting small-telescope science with a rich variety of CCD cameras, telescopes, mirrors, and almost every item imaginable for those who wish to build their own telescopes. The publishers of books and magazines have also fueled the revolution with how-to information.

Galileo’s Legacy conference will honor the commercial firms and organizations that have made this revolution possible by providing permanent display space around the periphery of the main meeting room. Display tables will be provided. A modest display fee helps support the conference.
