The Workshops are intended to encourage amateur observing, both for fun and
ideally scientific benefit. Many of you will observe the heavens already,
but these Workshops will help develop skills and introduce observers to new
disciplines. The speakers will endeavour to be around for enough time on
the day of the Workshops to discuss their area of expertise more
informally.
