It has been a tradition, started in 2000 by Patrick and Joanne Poitevin to organise a Solar Eclipse Conference in any year that does not have a central solar eclipse. So Sheridan and Xavier Jubier have stepped up to organise one for this year. To ease the administration Astro Trails (a company Sheridan has worked with since the 1980s) has offered to put together various package options to include travel, accommodation, excursions, catering etc.
Full details of the 2022 Solar Eclipse Conference are now live on a dedicated website https://www.sec2022.com/
The conference will be held at the enchanting Castle of the Bishops of Sigüenza in Spain from Wednesday 31st August to Saturday 3rd September 2022, which is also near the centre line of the 2026 TSE.
There will be a full programme of presentations and social events with speakers including Jay Anderson, Jay Pasachoff, Michael Zeiler and Xavier Jubier. See the website for a provisional list and titles of the presentations.
You can reserve your places at the conference and also make your travel arrangements through the website. There are ‘partner’ options for those not wishing to attend the conference itself.
Space is limited so early bookings are advised to avoid disappointment.
