Spring Quarter 2008

---

May 27th Observing Session is: ON, it looks like it is going to be cloudy but we are going anyway.

---

Evening observing sessions will be held every Tuesday night using the historic 18.5-inch telescope in Dearborn Observatory.  If the weather cooperates, you will have an opportunity to view the Moon, planets, star clusters, nebulae, etc. Since we can accomodate only a limited number of students per session, prior sign-up (during the Monday lecture) is required.  IF YOU WANT TO ATTEND AN OBSERVING SESSION, DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE QUARTER.  Meet just inside the entrance of Dearborn Observatory, at the foot of the stairs.  Since the Dearborn dome is NOT HEATED, make sure to bring a sweater or jacket (hat, gloves, etc. encouraged); observing sessions last about an hour. 

There will be two sessions; 9-10 PM and 10-11 PM, every Tuesday, weather permitting, there will be an observing session (unless I'm out of town, or REALLY lazy).
