Invitation to Participate
Located close to Mauna Kea, Kona is an ideal site for SPIE's 1998 Symposium on
Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation. Both Keck 1 and Keck 2 telescopes are in full
operation, the Japanese SUBARU 8-m telescope is expecting first light in the summer of
1998, and the Gemini 8-m telescope is well along, so the summit is a very exciting place.
Talks will be given on observatory operations, interferometry, telescope control systems,
advanced technology telescopes, adaptive optics, infrared instrumentation, optical
instrumentation, future space telescopes, and advance technology mm wave telescopes. Also,
a limited number of tours to Mauna Kea and the Keck Observatory are planned.
