Call for Presentations, 2022 — Deadline closed
As you will now have heard, the National Australian Convention of Amateur Astronomers is to be held online. Further details can be found on this website. With the delays caused by COVID and peoples’ reluctance to travel interstate and those who were planning to come from further abroad, the Programme Committee has again extended the deadline date for submitting proposals to Saturday February 19th. What are we looking for? An address on topics such as: • an observational (or desk-bound) research programme you are involved in; • a interesting development in instrumentation and tools: optical, computational, imaging, electronic, etc; • your progress with a significant project or programme, national or worldwide; • sharing your imaging successes with an appreciative audience; • an entertaining address aimed at promoting the enjoyment of astronomy; • a significant club or local activity; or • an interesting piece of astronomical history. The usual duration for presentations is 30 minutes. Longer presentations can be difficult to schedule but you are invited to try and convince us that your presentation is worthy of extra time. If you are considering making a presentation, but are not sure what’s expected, whether your topic meets the theme, or any other issue, please contact the Programme Committee urgently. A member of the PC will get back to you to assist.
