Primarily for non-science majors. An independent laboratory class, generally meeting at night, in which students work individually or in small groups on observational projects that focus on the study of constellations, planets, stars, nebulae, and galaxies. Binoculars, 6- through 10-inch telescopes, and imaging equipment are used extensively at the department’s student observatory. Some projects use computers to simulate observations taken with much larger telescopes. Prerequisite/corequisite: ASTR 121 or 124, or instructor permission.
