If there was every a lucky Astro 113 class, this was it. We only got clouded out one night! One or more of the students clearly had pleased the weather gods, and we were grateful. As a result, we had a lot of time to spend outside playing with the telescopes, teasing our lab assistants, and trying out the new custom-built toys made by Mark Zach to make the experience better. (They worked!)
Here are the images we managed collected and wanted to share. Enjoy!
(Note that some images, particularly of the Moon, have been scaled down in size a bit to fit your browser. Feel free to use ‘View Image’ to see the full images.)
