Physics 151/155 Lab: Introductory Astronomy Lab
SUNY Cortland
Spring 2023
Instructors- Sean Nolan
- Doug Armstead
Through out the semester on clear lab nights we will be observing the sky from the roof of Bowers (and possibly at an off-campus location--more information later). The standard document for you to make your lab report on is this. The purpose of the catch-up days here is to accomodate these spontaneous observing sessions.
