The 2010 STScI Calibration Workshop

The 2010 Calibration Workshop was held at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, MD on 21-23 July 2010. The workshop intended to foster sharing of information and techniques amongst observers, archive miners, instrument support teams, and instrument developers. The workshop had oral and poster sessions, and allowed time for discussion in splinter sessions.
