9351831 Olowin A non-science major Introductory Astronomy Laboratory is being equipped for on-going laboratory experience for undergraduate students. An ensemble of telescopes and accessories enhance and extend the direct experience undergraduates have with the sky. Students have the opportunity to observe and measure celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, planets, stars, bright clusters, nebulae and galaxies directly as well as photograph, measure, and analyze starlight for its composition, intensity, and time variations. Six new 8" telescopes, each equipped with a filar micrometer, a simple spectroscope, and a photometer, are used to augment observational work in the laboratory to a greater degree than was previously possible. Two large-aperture Dobsonian instruments complement the smaller aperture suite to allow students to observe deep-sky objects in a hands-on, cost- effective manner. The new telescopes not only greatly enhance existing and planned curricular offerings at Saint Mary's College, but also serve as a community resource for primary and secondary school training as well as a vehicle for public viewing nights and programs offered through local community centers. ***

小行星9351831 一个非科学专业的天文学入门实验室正在为本科生提供持续的实验室经验。望远镜和配件的集合增强和扩展了本科生对天空的直接体验。 学生有机会观察和测量天体，如太阳，月亮，行星，恒星，明亮的星团，星云和星系直接以及照片，测量和分析星光的组成，强度和时间变化。六个新的8”望远镜，每个都配备了一个细丝测微计，一个简单的分光镜和一个光度计，用于在实验室中增加观测工作，比以前更大的程度。两个大口径多布森仪器补充了较小的孔径套件，让学生观察深空物体在一个动手，成本效益的方式。新的望远镜不仅大大提高了圣玛丽学院现有的和计划中的课程，而且还作为中小学培训的社区资源，以及通过当地社区中心提供的公共观看之夜和节目的工具。 ***
