TRANS-TASMAN
SYMPOSIA ON OCCULTATIONS
Each year the Trans-Tasman Occultation Alliance (TTOA) hosts a Trans-Tasman
Symposium on Occultations (TTSO). These meetings were alternately held
in New Zealand in odd years (in conjunction with the Annual
Conference of the RASNZ) and in Australia in even years (with
the biennial National Australian Convention of Amateur
Astronomers - NACAA - held at Easter). This pattern has been broken since the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic with strictly online only meetings. It is hoped to revert to physical meetings (in combination with online) in the future.
They attract a wide
variety of participants from novices to advanced observers. Their
common goal is to advance the observation of all types of occultations.
