As highlighted in the August Journal's "From the President" spot by Jeremy Shears, I would also like to draw your attention to two asteroid-related meetings, which are now rapidly approaching:
The first will be in a little under two week's time, namely the European Symposium on Occultation Projects (ESOP, see http://www.esop35.uk/ ), which begins on the evening of Friday, August 19 and runs to Tuesday, August 23: the last two days comprising post-conference trips for delegates. BAA members not yet registered are very welcome to join the Saturday and/or Sunday sessions. The venue is the University of Surrey, Guildford. The topics will be very varied including lunar/asteroid occultations, observing opportunities made possible by the GAIA mission, hardware and software for timing and image capture, as well as demos and tutorials with some contributions from afar via Skype. Please contact the ARPS Director by e-mail (address below) if you would like more details of the programme, or if you wish to attend at short notice.
The second is the Asteroids and Remote Planets Workshop, free to BAA members, which will take place on Saturday, September 24 at Burlington House, Piccadilly and details of which have also been featured in the current Journal (p.258) - see also https://britastro.org/node/7189 . There will be lots of practical topics covered on the day, including some which overlap with techniques used in the study of comets. Attendees are welcome to contribute by way of a short talk, or by participation in discussions. Please note that, if you are planning to attend, you will need to first book by contacting the BAA Office on 020 7734 4145 or office[at]britastro.org - Please book early so as to confirm your place. Thank you.
