    Description
    A laboratory course emphasizing practice and interpretation of astronomical observations for students that are concurrently taking the ASTR 100 lecture course or those that have previously passed it with a grade of "C" or higher. When weather permits, students will observe objects in the sky with and without instruments such as telescopes. In-class simulations will be substituted when direct observation is not possible. The moon, stars, constellations, planets and other solar system bodies, and various deep-sky objects will be studied as well as the methods used to catalog, chart, and find them.
