There was a special session on Optical Transients held on Sunday, June 7. Michael took notes during the discussions.
If someone out there has a wide-bed plotter, which accepts Postscript input and produces paper prints 3 feet wide by about 4 feet long, you might try to download and then print the following poster-sized picture of variable star light curves and the TASS survey area. I wanted to use this as the background of my poster in San Diego, but I couldn't get a local printer to understand it properly :-(
