Hi Everyone,
Below are the links to the YouTube recordings of the 2024 Alt Az Workshop. Please note that I'm about as skilled at using Youtube as I am at using Zoom - which is not much - but I think you may appreciate a few things I've been able to learn this year.
The videos for all three days have timestamps so you can easily navigate to the presentations you want to see by placing your cursor on the horizontal red timeline at the bottom of the videos that show their progress. The title and author of the talk will appear above the redline as well as a thumbnail of that part of the video.
You'll also notice that there are breaks in the red timeline - they show where each presentation ends and the next one begins. Click on the timeline at the break just before the presentation you want to see.
Finally, you can see the actual times of each break in the description of all three days' presentations. You can click on the blue timestamps in the descriptions to take you to that presentation. They may not work from this post though - if the timestamp of the presentation you want to see from the daily lists below is blue, click on it and a YouTube link will pop up. Click the link, and that presentation will open in your browser. If the timestamps below are not blue, just go to the YouTube link posted below for each day.
My thanks to all the presenters, and to everyone who tuned in to the Zoom and YouTube live streams. This was, by far, the most watched Alt Az Workshop we've had so far, and we hope to build on this success going forward.
As always, please contact Mel or myself with any suggestions and ideas.
See you next year!
Howard and Mel
