Program
Lunch time!
Typical day during VSA starts at 12:30 - 12:45 am, when we all get up. Lunch in Borgonja restaurant at 1 pm is followed by data reduction from previous night's observations. Lectures are held from 5 pm and usually last an hour and half or two. Dinner is at 7 pm. Briefings are scheduled for 9 pm. The preparations for observation start around 8:30 pm and the observations run from 9pm till 5:30am. Somewhere during the night, groups have break to eat their breakfast sandwiches ;) After that, everybody is supposed to be asleep.
Acccomodation
Whole VSA 2007 will be held at the Tican Observatory. Accomodation is pretty spartan: sleeping will be organized inside the dome (bringing your sleeping bags is encouraged).
