ASTRONOMY 161 PROJECTS

Observing Projects

You should complete an observing project. The project has two parts.

Part I

You will go to the observatory. With help of the astronomers working there, you will pick as many objects as possible for your study. You will prepare a stack of observing logs (You should make your own notes on these sheets that you will be getting at the observatory) as APPENDIX to your project report.

Part II

After the completion of Part I, you should write a report about your observations. The discussion should revolve around the astronomical objects. The expectation is a very critical report. The length of your report should be about 10 pages. At the end of the report, attach the observing logs that you have gotten signed by the astronomer-in-charge at the observatory as APPENDIX (See Part I).
