EPSC, or Europlanet Science Congress, 2021 will be held online, as in the previous year. Taurus Hill Observatory observations will be presented again this time as part of the ODAA5 session on Friday, September 24th.
It is not possible to present a typical scientific poster in a virtual conference, but now, for the second year in a row, the poster has been replaced by a mini-presentation with six PowerPoint etc. slides. Taurus Hill Observatory mini-presentation is in the ODAA5 session. Behind this “code” lies the session “Professional-Amateur Collaborations in Small Bodies, Terrestrial and Giant Planets, Exoplanets, and Ground-Based Support of Space Missions” which, as its name implies, covers a fairly large spectrum of amateur astronomy related topics. Attached is a list ofthe content of the session The pages of the conference itself can be found at https://www.epsc2021.eu/. The conference is not free, but some of the material is also available free of charge. To find your ODAA5 session on your page, click this link.
