1967-2007: Forty years of outreach activity at INAF - Catania Astrophysical Observatory
Abstract
Outreach activity at the INAF-Catania Astrophysical Observatory (OACT) started about forty years ago both at the M.G. Fracastoro station on Mt. Etna and at the A. Ricco headquarters in Catania. In recent years the requests for visits, conferences and courses have steadily increased and about 9500 visitors per year have participated in the events we have organised. Here we present our activities, as an example of what can be accomplished in a relatively small institute.
