Recap of the Conference: Assisted Visual Astronomy

The Spa Astronomy Group (GAS) organized a conference and workshop on assisted visual astronomy, led by Thierry, on April 4, 2025. Around twenty enthusiasts participated in this informative evening, rich in discussions. The event highlighted new generations of telescopes (Astro_2.0, Unistellar, Seestar) that allow for quick and detailed observations of galaxies thanks to automatic pointing systems and live image capture. An observation session allowed participants to test this equipment under a perfect sky, alongside more traditional instruments. The tests and information shared by Thierry were highly appreciated. Several GAS members have already adopted these new telescopes, promising to enrich future observation evenings.
