Hi all,
The 29th NACAA is now only six months away, and all the committees are working hard to create the best NACAA ever.
The Programme Committee is happy to announce our distinguished invited speakers:

• Renowned planetary imager Anthony Wesley will be presenting our Keynote Address. This talk will highlight how amateur astronomers can contribute to astronomical science.
• The Perdrix Address will be presented by long-time NACAA member Ray Johnston. In a break with tradition, Ray will be the dinner speaker. This promises to be an entertaining presentation.

We've had a good response to last month's call for presentations. There's still room for more talks, but don't leave it until the December 15 deadline. Click here to read our guidelines and submit a proposal. And, yes, we really want new speakers to present. If you're not sure your proposal is "worthy enough", send it in!
And don't forget: we already have two symposia and five workshops scheduled. Visit the Preliminary Programme to see all the details.
Registrations for NACAA 2020 will open in December. In the meantime, don't leave booking your accommodation too late. Read the LOC's advice here and make your booking soon.
Stephen Russell
2020 PC Chair.
