Welcome to Astronomy 105 Lab.
I am teaching sections 6 (Wednesdays, 7:30pm - 10:20pm)
and 8 (Thursdays, 7:30pm - 10:20pm) for the 2002 Fall semester. A syllabus
explaining the prerequisites, course objectives, and TENTATIVE course schedule
(see below - note some labs require two sessions to complete) will have been
handed out in class. The schedule is tentative because we cannot control
the weather, and many of our labs require us to be on the roof of the physics
building making observations. If for some reason I know before hand
that we will deviate from the schedule, I will try to post the changes below
(the changes will be marked in red).
