Night Lab

We will be going to the Campus Observatory to look at the night sky and to use optical telescopes. This night session will require your presence on campus one night during the semester, most likely in November or December. Since we cannot predict the weather, we may have several unsuccessful attempts at night observing. Realistically, it often takes 2-3 scheduling attempts before we get a clear night. Given the size of the class, there will be two night labs, with roughly one half of the class assigned to attend one or the other night lab. We will announce later in the term the available dates, and you will be given an opportunity to select your preference. You must have a valid written excuse if you miss your chosen night lab in order to make up the work.
