CCD Camera Equipped Telescopes for Undergraduate Astronomy

9351227鲍威尔该系目前正在扩大其在天文学方面的本科实验室实验。该大学已承诺在当地建造一个天文台，该天文台将支持8个8英寸望远镜和1个14英寸望远镜。为了提供尽可能多用途的观测天文实验室，每个8英寸望远镜将配备一台ccd摄像机和控制计算机。14英寸的望远镜将配备更大尺寸、更高动态范围的CCD，用于高水平的本科生班级和学生研究项目。学生将使用望远镜和ccd相机的组合来获得彩色星等图、变星、行星和星系的实验结果。实验室实验旨在提高学生解决问题的能力，提供最先进的技术经验，并增强他们的科学原理意识。***

9351227 Powell The Department is currently expanding its undergraduate laboratory experiments in astronomy. The University has made a commitment to construct a local observatory which will support eight 8-inch telescopes and one 14-inch telescope. To provide the most versatile observational astronomy laboratory possible, each 8-inch telescope will be equipped with a CCD camera and controlling computer. The 14-inch telescope will be equipped with a larger format, higher dynamic range CCD for upper level undergraduate classes and student research projects. The combination of telescopes and CCD cameras will be used for students to obtain experimental results for a color-magnitude diagram, variable stars, planets, and galaxies. The laboratory experiments are designed to improve students' problem-solving skills, provide experience with state-of-the-art technology, and increase their awareness of scientific principles. ***
