The Eighth Summer School in Synthesis Imaging will take place from June 18 through June 25 of 2002 in Socorro, NM. The school will entail a week of lectures on aperture synthesis theory and techniques at a level appropriate for graduate students in astrophysics. Practical tutorials demonstrating data collection, calibration and imaging of both VLA and VLBA data will be given. There will be a nominal registration fee, sufficient to cover only the cost of the meeting and a copy of ASP Vol. 180 on Synthesis Imaging from the 1998 summer school.
All the lecturer's powerpoint presentations are now on the web in
native powerpoint, PDF, and html formats.
Thanks to Pat Van Buskirk for putting the web page together.

does not guarantee you a place at the school. To be assured of a
spot you must have pre-registered, sent in the response form from the
second announcement, and paid the registration fee. We have
space for only 150 participants. If you have only just discovered
that you want to attend the school, send me (gtaylor@nrao.edu)
