Telescope Observing Observing with telescopes is often one of the highlights of this course for students. In this assignment, you will attend an observing session at McCormick Observatory and sketch at least three objects as seen through the telescopes, describe what type of object they are. IN ADDITION: you will write a paragraph (at least 300 words) on what is known about each of these types of objects.

NOTE: YOU MUST SIGN UP FOR OBSERVING AND THE CONSTELLATION QUIZ IN ADVANCE.

Constellation Quiz You may also choose to complete the constellation quiz as one of the four options (in addition to telescope observing, Elegant Universe, and Contact). Please review Appendix B before participating in this activity.

Specific information about logistics and signing up are available on the general Astronomy 121/124 webpage.
