 István Tepliczky Born in 1961, Tata, Hungary. He has been a computer system administrator of the Hungarian state oil company MOL for 26 years. He dealt efficiently with the IT challenges that have permanently evolved over the years of the company, which is one of the most significant players in Hungarian economy. Consequently, he has developed extensive experience in computers, data analysis and network management. Mr. Tepliczky has long been interested in many fields of science, including astronomy, meteorology, physics, technical sciences and environmental protection. He made his first astronomical observations of the Sun and planets in 1979. Over the years he developed great experience in variable stars and meteor astronomy, including visual, photographic and radio observations. One of his major achievements is the detection of the 1986 outbursts of the Alpha Aurigids meteor shower, cited by many professional publications. He has played a key role in organizing associations of Hungarian amateur astronomers. Since the 1980s, he has been a major driver behind a large number of astronomical events, such as star parties, observational camps, special meetings. He has been one of the two secretaries of the Hungarian Astronomical Association since 1992. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of the monthly journal Meteor. Recently, he became interested in online broadcasts of astronomical meetings using a variety of streaming techniques. In addition, I. Tepliczky has been a presenter of the radio station Fiksz, putting emphasis on topics from astronomy and environmentalism. At the MDRS he will carry out carefully selected astronomical and meteorological observations, as well as assisting in other projects that could benefit from his expertise.
|  Mónika Boros-Oláh Born in Budapest in 1985. I took my school-leaving exams at Szent Margit Gimnázium (a secondary grammar school). My main subjects were informatics and Japan language. At present I am majoring in social pedagogy at Apor Vilmos Catholic College. I have been doing educational work in astronomy for the Hungarian Association of Astronomy since 2003. I hold weekly telescopic demonstrations in Polaris Observatory (or more often if needed).I regulary send articles for periodicals dealing with astronomy, for different home pages and I give lectures throughout the country. I have been an editor of Meteor astronomical journal (column Szabadszem) since 2003. My main topic is the planet Mars. Most of my lectures are held on the geology of the planet and the history of its charting. Between 2006-2007 I worked as a demonstrator at the Palace of Wonders. Making good use of my educational work experience I tried to be a good help to the visitors.

| My first product as a cinematographer was Merzuga, the threshold of Sahara in 2005. The film was selected to the program of Biarritz Film Festival. On the Hungarian television channels (M1, M2, Duna tv, Sport 1, Sport 2) screenings more then 700.000 viewers saw my documentary, Hunfootball, the 91st minute (2006). It had been published in 3000 DVD copies at Hungaricom. And 1000 copies had been sold to the Hungarian Reinforcement Institute for educational reason. The film won the student jury's special prize on the 38. Hungarian Film week. In 2007 I worked as assistant director in an advertisement of Sony, which was shot in Hungary. Since 2007 I've been managing Inforg Studio's workshop as a creative producer. | |||||||||||||||
