Submission Date
Lab Report: Galaxies
Purpose(s) of Lab:
The purpose of this lab was to observe Galaxies and also to prefer some online information gathering on each object such as distance, brightness, mass, age, or other characteristics of each object observed.
Theory
No theory was required for this lab.
Apparatus used in the Lab:
The following apparatus were used at the Schiano Observatory in Irvine J.
Celestron 14HD telescope with f7 ‘focal reducer’ to increase visibility of dim objects in Irvine.
Maillinicam DS10CTEC camera to record images of the objects within a typical 60 second ‘integration’ time. A PC and monitor set up to allow viewing of the objects.
Working
Students worked in groups during the observations, but the material written in this write-up needs to be unique to each student.
Procedure:
Task 1: Professor Schiano aimed the telescope at a variety of Galaxies. He announced the names of the objects and provided any information to be included on the Lab Report.
Students noted the name and the time of your observation and any other data such as the sky conditions that are relevant to your observation.
Students noted the brightness, color, and position of any stars in the monitor view.
Students drew a sketch of what you saw for each object.
Task 2: Professor Schiano sent students pictures taken of the objects through Canvas.
Students included the printed images in their Lab Report. They used the image to aide with sketching.
Analysis
Task 3: For each object, students performed online re...
