Lab Web Page for

(Section B)
Department of
Physics and Astronomy
Franklin & Marshall College
Fall 2011
Welcome to the Fall 2011 edition of Astronomy
170: Survey of Astronomy. This is the web page for lab Section B,
which meets on Tuesdays. The labs will be
taught by Froney Crawford.
Many of the lab details can be found in the lab
manual.
Some Administrative Information
For the lab, you will need the following items:
- The Night Sky (star chart) by David Chandler (available in
the bookstore)
- The Astronomy 170 Lab Manual from the bookstore
- A pocket calculator
Our Section B labs will meet every week on
Tue from 7:30
- 9:20 p.m., usually in Hackman 425. However, we will sometimes
meet elsewhere (depending on the lab). I will let you know in
advance (probably by email) which lab we will be doing in a given week
and where we will meet. I'll have more to say to you in person about
what needs to be turned in and graded and when it is due.
Note that your lowest lab score will be dropped at the end of the
semester (or, alternatively, you can choose to skip one lab). There
are serious penalties for any additional missed labs. We will discuss
this in more detail when we meet in person.
