Nicholas Copernicus Observatory and Planetarium in Brno and the B.R.N.O. - Variable Star Section of the Czech Astronomical Society are glad to invite you to
The conference will be held in the estates of Nicholas Copernicus Observatory and Planetarium in Brno, Czech Republic on November, 7 - 9, 1997.
The international conference will be particularly concerned with all aspects of variable star astronomy - observation, data processing, astrophysics of variable stars.
The organizers have had more than 30-year tradition of uninterrupted observational and publication activities in the field of variable stars, almost so long a tradition of holding national conferences and 10 years of international contacts. They have a nice hall of Brno Planetarium (190 seats) with its accessories to their disposal. Organizers hope they will be able to prepare the conference in corresponding standard, and thus to start tradition of international conferences on variable star research being held in Brno in two-year intervals.
Furthermore, this year's conference will be preceded by 20th Conference on Stellar Astronomy of Czech and Slovak professional astronomers (November, 5-7), so it has a good chance to become a wide forum for the discussions among professional and amateur astronomers from many countries dealing with variable stars. Up to now organizers have received 40 preliminary applications for attendance of persons from 12 European countries.
