Science Sessions

The purpose of these sessions are to provide hands-on science experience for middle and high school students.

These sessions are coordinated with a science teacher to provide field experience for data acquisition and later classroom analysis.  In addition to the 10 inch Meade LX200 telescope, an astronomical imager and laptop is used to capture images and data.

Examples of science sessions include:

  • Occultation timings
  • Jovian moon orbits
  • Variable star analysis
  • Minor planet tracking
