Dear SALT Community,

As mentioned already in our newsletter, we at AstroOps really wish to improve our service to you - and we really need your input. Please give us a few minutes of your time to tell us what we do well and where you think we need to improve.

We are all suffering from survey overload, so all of our survey questions are optional - you only need to answer those questions you want to answer. And at the end of the survey, you will have the option to enter a lucky draw for one hour of P0 time for SALT!

Please find the link to the survey here:

Thank you very much for your help!

The SALT Astronomy Operations team

Dear SALT community,

Thank you to all who have expressed interest in the November SALT conference thus far! We are looking forward to productive and interesting meeting.

This is a reminder that the registration deadline is almost upon us - if you have not yet done so, please sign up at http://salt-conference-2018.salt.ac.za by the end of day on * Friday 17 August *

Kind regards,

We invite the SALT community to join us for a conference “Advances with SALT”, to be held in Pretoria, South Africa, from 14 – 16 November 2018.

The conference will reflect on the recent scientific achievements enabled by SALT and look forward to new developments, providing an opportunity for SALT users and staff to gather together to discuss new results, upcoming projects, the strategic vision and plans for SALT’s future. In addition to keynote and contributed presentations, there will be practical sessions on making the most of SALT and dealing with data, less formal “unconference” sessions and discussions. We invite contributions on a broad range of science topics, instrumentation, SALT in outreach and other SALT-related themes.

For more information and to register, see the conference website: http://salt-conference-2018.salt.ac.za.

The conference registration fee, covering the cost of lunches and refreshments, the conference dinner and a t-shirt, is R2500. We particularly encourage students and emerging researchers that use SALT or have an interest in using it in future to attend! We expect to be able to waive the registration fee and provide a limited number of travel grants for students from both South Africa and the international SALT partners, thanks to financial support from the SA National Research Foundation and SALT. Please indicate on the registration form if you are a student applying for support.

Venue:
The conference takes place at the NRF’s Albert Luthuli Auditorium in Pretoria. Accommodation is available at the nearby Lynwood City Lodge, and should be booked before 15 September to take advantage of the group rate. Please see the website for more information.
