Observing projects, or "labs" represent most of the points in this course. Each semester, we try to start by learning our way around the sky using only our eyes and then by learning to take a closer look with binoculars. We then learn to use the telescopes and get a detailed look at many different astronomical objects.
Note that the objects that we observe depends upon which part of the sky is visible during the semester in question, and also where the planets happen to be in their orbits at that time.
