As part of our outreach and education commitment, the AAVSO provides a list of prepared PowerPoint presentations written by AAVSO members, intended for you to use in a talk or presentation about variable stars and how to study them. These presentations cover a wide range of topics: from Variable Star Observing Techniques to Dark Sky Preservation to CCD Photometry Techniques. Intended audiences range from general public to advanced astronomy meetings.

Please Note: Each presentation is the property of the author unless otherwise noted and proper credit should be given when referencing these documents. While the AAVSO offers these presentations, it is not responsible for the content, accuracy or opinions offered in any of the presentations.

We invite you to contribute to the library if you can. Available presentations are listed alphabetically.
