Development of Modern Observational Astronomy Lab Projects

这个项目正在发展和传播一套观测天文学的现代实验室练习。这些实验练习使用现代电子成像探测器（ccd）和计算机来获取各种天文物体的图像，包括月球、行星、太阳、恒星、星云和星系。导论学生将测量成像物体的亮度和大小，以了解我们的宇宙，并体验现代观测天文学的技术。这些新开发的实验室练习正在通过实地考察向其他大学和学院传播，在实地考察中展示设备和程序。这类设备有一个用户网络，可以交换思想、天文图像和教学技术。//

This project is developing and disseminating a set of modern lab exercises in observational astronomy. These lab exercises employ modern electronic imaging detectors (CCDs) and computers to acquire images of a wide variety of astronomical objects, including the Moon, planets, the Sun, stars, nebulae and galaxies. Introductory students will measure brightness and sizes of the imaged objects to gain an understanding of our universe, as well as experience the techniques of modern observational astronomy. These newly developed lab exercises are being disseminated to other universities and colleges via site visits at which the equipment and procedures are demonstrated. There is a network of users of this type equipment allowing the exchange of ideas, astronomical images and instructional techniques.//
