On behalf of the organising committee I am pleased to announce that the call for presentations is now open. The Programme Committee is looking for presentations for the Saturday and Sunday technical sessions. The core of the convention is its presentations, and we are inviting everyone and anyone to consider making a contribution, by yourself or in a group.
The theme for this NACAA is
"Astronomy and the Citizen." Presentations on other themes and topics may be accepted, so long as the contribution is significant and interesting.
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.
Here is your chance to contribute to the NACAA and Australian amateur astronomy while getting your 30 minutes of fame.
