Programme Committee
The NACAA Programme Committee is responsible for the coordination of the technical content of the convention, and providing support to all contributors. Our simple aim is to produce a programme of talks and workshops from fellow amateurs and invited professionals which seeks showcase, educate and inspire our amateur community.
The 2012 Programme Committee is:
Chair: Jonathan Bradshaw (AAQ), lifelong astronomer, keen occultation observer and video astronomer
Tim Naiper-Munn (AAQ), double star guru
Ray Johnston (FRAS, AAQ), astro-educationalist and avid historian
Joe Cali (AAQ), total eclipse legend, and
Alan Plummer (SCSW, AAQ), prolific variable star observer
The Chair of the Programme Committee for NACAA XXV is happy to receive submissions on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to
• astroimaging and processing
• photometry, variable stars, and supernovae
• solar system studies, including comets, eclipses, and occultations
• telescope making and instrumentation
• education, local activities and events, and outreach
