The annual SAS Symposium on Telescope Science has become one of the premier events for amateur astronomers and for building pro-am collaborations. Amateurs and some professionals make presentations covering a wide range of topics, including imaging basics, photometry, spectroscopy, instrumentation, and more.
Their observations range from near-Earth to the edges of the universe. If you’re interested in seeing how you can contribute to astronomical research using amateur-scale equipment, this is one event you should plan to attend each year.
The proceedings of previous symposia and videos of many of the presentations are freely available here.
The SAS-2022 Symposium will be held June 2-3-4, 2022 in Ontario, California. We will meet in-person, and provide a live on-line webcast for those who can’t attend.
Registration will open on February 15.
