26th of December being a Monday, with the planetarium closed for public, the sessions can be held in the sky theater of the planetarium, utilising the versatile display capabilities of the new planetarium machine. The talks could thus be sky oriented - by sky oriented - not necessarily amateur astronomy talks - but, professional astronomers speaking on many topics could utilise the possibility of giving their talks in an "Under the sky" format. Possible topics for these sessions could be introductory talks on many topics like: to:

and so on - many exciting visual possibilities will exist with almost any topic to make these sessions very exciting - being held "Under the stars". Some of the professional astronomy talks could be preceded by an amateur astronomers' view of those specific kinds of celestial objects - some amateur astronomers have done very good amateur astrophotography work and through their astrophotographs getting them to be interested in the science of these objects will be much more possible.

27th of December being a Tuesday, the sky theater would not be available so much and talks with more traditional format of presentation could be held on this date. This day's discussions could be more geared towards encouraging specific observing/analysis projects that are feasible to be undertaken by small teams of amateur astronomers and Bsc/Msc/Btech students. to:
