    The afternoon sessions will include hands-on tutorial sessions so if you have laptops, if would be a good idea to bring them as we hope to go through examples of image processing.
    Closer to the day, we will publish a list of image processing software that will be used so as to allow you to preload it on your laptop.
    If you don't have a laotop, no worries - it will still be a very useful day.

    Spaces are limited to 20 attendees.
    Regsitration fee is €20 per person and payment is required via our paypal system - please do not send payments yet.
    Payment cannot be taken at the venue.

    The fee also includes a basic lunch (sambos, T/C, biscuits etc) on the day.

    If you are interested in attending, please register your interest on the IFAS website http://www.irishastronomy.org
    Once we have 20 names, we will then start the process of taking payment.

    We would like to thank Hilary O'Donnell and all at DIAS for facilitating IFAS with the use of Dunsink Observatory for this event. Thanks!

    If you have any queries, plese do not hesitate to ask.

    Regards,

    Michael O'Connell & Dave McDonald.
