End of Workshop
A couple of things to note - after 100 people sign into the Zoom meeting, anyone after that will be automatically sent to the YouTube live stream. Also, if you do end up watching the YouTube live stream, you won't be able to ask any questions.
The recordings of each Alt Az Workshop session will be posted to YouTube sometime next week, and I'll send out a notice when they are ready.
Howard
ps - much thanks to Akarsh who set up the YouTube live stream!
