This lab course includes making astronomical observations, with the eye, digital devices, and spectrograph, as well as the use of various kinds of telescopes. The meeting times for the Fall 2013 semester are 7-10 p.m. on Thursday nights (section 1) and Tuesdays (section 2), starting in room 313 of Gallalee Hall. When weather and phase of the Moon permit, some sessions will be held at Moundville Archaeological Park, to take advantage of the darker skies. For more on the course, including possible activities and grading policy, see the syllabus.
