THE ITALIAN ASTROMETRY GROUP

Gruppo Italiano Astrometristi


The Gruppo Italiano Astrometristi (G.I.A.) (Italian Astrometry Group) coordinates all the astrometric activity done in Italy by amateur astronomers. By admission of Brian G. Marsden, director of Minor Planet Center, the Italian working group is as active as the well known Japanese group in terms of discoveries and measures sent to his office.
The G.I.A. members have a meeting a year; they are connected via a mailing list and an homepage.
A list of the observatories involved in G.I.A. is shown here below:
