[ASA] Conference attached to April 2023 total solar eclipse in Western Australia

[Steven Tingay]

Dear Colleagues,

As you might know, a total solar eclipse will be visible from a small
corner of Western Australia in April 2023 - the path of totality just
touches the peninsula at Exmouth.

This is a rare event and will occur in a location that is not set up for
large numbers of visitors, so will be challenging to attend.

I've received some generous funding from Business Events Perth, to organise
a scientific conference attached to the eclipse event.

We have worked up a nine day itinerary concept that includes the conference
in Geraldton and guaranteed viewing spots and accommodation at the eclipse
site in Exmouth.  Travel between locations will be via coach buses.

As this will be a significant effort in terms of organisation, and a bit of
an adventure for the participants, we would like to gauge interest before
committing to the organisation.

To that end, we have produced a short document describing the concept, at:
https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/U8aUC81V0PTj6lNDjinYcOF?domain=docs.google.com

And a simple form to indicate an Expression of Interest in attendance:
https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/XNbOC91WPRTmkv4LmTEdPr6?domain=forms.gle

If interested, please fill in the form by April 22.  Please feel free to
share with your international colleagues.

Regards,
Steven
