Washington Area Astronomers meetings provide a forum in which the large number of professional astronomers and astrophysicists in the Washington-Baltimore area can present recent research results to their colleagues in the local astronomical community.
Proceedings are available on-line.
This conference aims to review the present and future of this exciting new era of wide-field astronomy, and to discuss the optimum exploitation of the remarkable range of new facilities.
