2020 Symposium on Telescope Science

SAS/AAVSO-2020 “in person” Symposium is cancelled ... but we are preparing for an “online Symposium”

Those of you who have already registered will receive a full refund of your registration and Workshop fees (to the same credit card that you used to make the original payment).  Don’t forget to cancel your hotel reservations by contacting the hotel directly.

Stay tuned for details about the online Symposium.

The purpose of the SAS Symposium is to encourage research using small-telescope observations and amateur-professional collaborations in astronomy. Targets of interest at the Symposium include asteroids, solar system objects, exoplanets, variable stars, novae and supernovae, and related topics such as instrument design and characterization, and data analysis methods. Everyone with an interest in small-telescope research is welcome -- amateur astronomers, students, educators, and professional astronomers. If you want to see how small-telescope observations and measurements are contributing to astronomical science, learn more about photometry, astrometry, spectroscopy, CCD imaging, and the newest hardware and software techniques, this is the conference for you!

The 2020 Symposium is a joint meeting with the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO).
