2022 Symposium on Telescope Science (in person)

The purpose of the Symposium is to emphasize small-telescope research and amateur-professional collaboration.  It will include many papers related to variable stars, asteroids, exoplanets, supernova, and related topics; with amateurs and professionals discussing the use of CCD cameras, software, hardware, and the latest techniques in data acquisition and analysis. If you want to see how small telescope research is contributing to astronomical science, learn more about photometry, astrometry, spectroscopy, CCD imaging, and the newest hardware and software techniques, this is the conference you will NOT want to miss!   SAS-2022 will be an in-person Symposium in southern California, with an online broadcast providing as much interactivity as practical.
