Australasian Planetarium Society

The APS meeting was quite a success, with around 30 attendees representing almost all of the Australasian planetariums. One particular highlight was seeing all the different ways in which the domes in our region are being used – from serious astronomical education, through art/science collaborations to film festivals and narrative cinema. Our community may be small but the diversity of content is large.
