Information
The mornings (11:00-1:00) of January 1, 2 and 4, 5, will feature special focus sessions two hours in length. These sessions will be in parallel because, for instance, a participant might not want to attend a session on “telescope optics,” but would love to attend one on “visual double stars.” Similarly, some participants may be delighted to attend a session on “exoplanets,” but wouldn’t be interested in “telescope controls.” The topics are subject to change as the conference develops.
