Special Guest Lecture:
Professor Carlton (Tad) Pryor
'The Southern African Large Telescope (SALT)'

Every year RAC hosts a fascinating dinner lecture by a speaker with deep expertise in the field of physics or astronomy. It's a tasty evening for both members and non-members alike.
We hope you will join us.

Professor Pryor will discuss the amazing 36-foot SALT intrument along with his research on star clusters and individual galaxies. We have a spectacular buffet dinner planned, a great cocktail hour, all topped off with coffee/dessert and Tad's talk. And we have some super Tele Vue door prizes!
