Interested participants could also let us know of topics that they would like to have covered, and we will try and see if they could be arranged in July or at a later time.

Well, this is a beginning exploration from our side, of such online possibilities which could help our community of educators, interested students and amateur astronomers interact together online, and celebrate our interest in astronomy.

The lecture will be webcast at moderate video quality and high quality audio streaming. Participants could opt to access either the videostreaming or audio streaming depending on the bandwidth access that they have. There will also be an uploading to Youtube as a deferred live presentation, with maybe a 10-15 minute lag.

In general, the lectures would start at 11:30 AM. The lectures will be uploaded in 10 minute segments to Youtube as also webcast - with small breaks after every 10 minute segment. This sequence will be from 11:30 AM to 1 PM. At 1:30 PM, the speaker maybe available for a 15 minute chat segment for any questions and discussions, that the participants may have, keeping in mind the phase lag due to deferred live uploading of lecture segments.
