All you ever wanted to know about optical long baseline stellar   interferometry, but were too shy to ask your adviser
  I try to present a small view of the properties and issues related to astronomical interferometry observations. I recall a bit of history of the technique, give some basic assessments to the principle of interferometry, and finally, describe physical processes and limitations that affect optical long baseline interferometry and which are, in general, very useful for everyday work. Therefore, this text is not intended to perform strong demonstrations and show accurate results, but rather to transmit the general "feeling" one needs to have to not be destabilised by the first contact to real world interferometry.
