SPIE is a proud supporter of The International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009) - recognized during SPIE Optics + Photonics 2009.

Celebrate both The 400th anniversary of the telescope and The International Year of Astronomy.

These events celebrate the first astronomical use of the telescope by Galileo – an event that initiated 400 years of astronomical discoveries and triggered a scientific revolution which profoundly affected our worldview.

Join the celebration. Attend at a variety of special events from the telescope display in the Exhibition Hall to "Star Gazing" at the Welcome Reception.

Planned events for the 400th Anniversary of the Telescope:
 •Antique Telescope Display
 •Astro-Photo Wall
 •Historic Photos
 •"Star Gazing" event during the Welcome Reception
 •Live Data Feed from Australian Observatory
 •See the new Carbon Truss 24 inch f/7.8 Ritchey-Chrétien
 •Astro-photo Workshop - see below
