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 the late Brian G. Marsden, former director of Minor Planet Center, in the '90s the Italian working group was as active as the well known Japanese group in terms of discoveries and measures sent to his office.
The G.I.A. members had a meeting a year (now suspended); they are connected via a mailing list.
