Dear BAA member,

You are invited to attend the 29th European Symposium on Occultation Projects,
ESOP 2010, which will be held at the University of York, England, from August

"ESOP" is an annual symposium, organised on behalf of the International
Occultation Timing Association, IOTA, and held at a different European venue
each year.  It is a forum for advanced amateur, semi-professional and
professional astronomers specialising in occultation work. See:

If you wish to present a paper/poster, or propose a topic for a discussion or
workshop, an abstract should be provided by 2010 July 30 as detailed on the
symposium website using the 'Call for Papers' form.  We also ask you to
register by this date.

This is only the second time that the symposium has been held in the UK, the
first being ESOP 1997 held in Cambridge.  We encourage those with a particular
interest in occultation prediction, observation, reduction, state-of-the-art
equipment, software, and related dynamical events such as eclipses, transits,
mutual events between planetary satellites and astrometry of fast-moving
asteroids to participate.

We particularly thank the BAA for help in staging the meeting.
