Back to "BYU Astronomers"


When we were in 329, Liberty wanted to help us remember everything we had to do while observing, so we created . . .

The ABCs of Astronomy

      Aperature: Make sure you're focused
      Book: Write in the log book
      Comp Stars: Make sure your comp stars (as well as your object) are in the field
      Dome: Make sure you're not taking pictures of the dome
      Exposure: Check your counts
      Files: Be sure to rename the base after 100 files
      Group: Don't observe alone
      Humidity: Check the weather
      Incoming heat source: Make sure the doors are closed
      Jump--don't!
      Keep the dome door
      Locked!
