International Meteor Conference 2011

[David Entwistle]

The 30th International Meteor Conference is taking place between September 15-18 in Sibiu, Romania. You can view the programme here. The presentations are being streamed live here. There seems to be some issue with the sound, but hopefully that'll get sorted out.

Hi,

There were clearly some technical issues with the recordings and not all session were recorded, but I've attempted to provide links to those that were. I've had a few problems, so there are probably a number of mistakes - I'll correct them if I get time. If I watch another advert for Disneyland, I'll scream....
