Office Hours at 615 KEN: WR, $2-3$~pm, and by appointment.

{\Large YOU NEED:}

\begin{itemize}

\item LAB Manual (available at Target Copy 635 W.\ Tennessee St.)

\item David Chandler Planisphere $20^0-30^0$ or $30^0-40^0$ \hfil
\hfil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(should (should be available at on-campus bookstores).

Tallahassee is approximately at $30^0$ Latitude.  

If you already have the Miller Planisphere for a range including
$30^0$ you may use it as well (I prefer Chandler's).

\s Besides the planisphere you are also allowed to use {\b Google Sky} 
on your smartphone. But get a planisphere anyhow, because it allows 
you a better understanding of what is going on. \b 

Also, you may want to install {\r Stellarium} on your computer.

\item Unfortunately {\r Light Pollution} is severe around the Keen
Building due to University Lights as well as Tallahassee sky glow.
{\r Do not make it worse!} Do NOT use the flashlights of your 
smartphone. Stay instead with the red flashlights provided to
you. 

\item {\r Dark Night Observation:} When weather allows we will
drive for one Lab out to Silver Lake where light pollution is
less severe.

\item The {\r Syllabus} is posted on the WEB: Google Bernd Berg, go
      to my teaching page and click the Astronomy Lab 2019 link. \s

      Keep yourself informed about the next LABs posted there! Understand
      the {\r strict attendance policy.} {\b Do not fail the course due 
      to missing labs!}

      Prepare one Indoor and one Outdoor Lab before coming to class
      (which one is taken depends on the weather). Consult {\b Wikipedia}
      in addition to the Lab Manual whenever it suits you.

      {\r Appendices} of the Lab Manual: 1.~The 88 Constellations,
      2.~30 bright stars visible from Tallahassee, 3.~Some objects
      from the Messier catalog visible from Tallahassee.
