This meeting will be general discussion of slitless spectroscopy with the goal of sharing knowledge and ideas from those already doing it, and as an introduction for those contemplating it.  During this discussion, meeting attendees will share samples of their slitless spectra and discuss their methods for acquiring and processing into a 1D profile.  We will also discuss the value of slitless spectrometry as a way to develop the skills and knowledge essential in astronomical spectroscopy, as well as the scientific value of these types of spectra.

If you plan on attending and would like to show samples of your slitless spectra and talk about how you go about acquiring and processing your spectra, reply to this thread or contact me directly.
