Where can I find modules to use the laboratory instruments for a course in astronomy?
I am a professor of astronomy seeking to create a session in the evening observation component for my class. But I do not have many ideas about what kind of things I can do with telescopes. Maybe someone took a course in telescopes or know of a place where I can find information about it.
I love playing with my only telescope in the backyard. With years I have learned a few tricks. Here are some good books to start. Star Ware: The Amateur astronomer's guide to choosing, buying and using telescopes and accessories Astronomy Hacks by Harrington, Philip S.: Tips and tools for observation Night Sky (Hacks) by Robert Thompson and Barbara Fritchman Thompson Telescope Power: Fantastic Activities and Easy Projects for Young Astronomers by Gregory L. If it Matloff is a school nearby, a college pqarticularly a large telescope, you may be able to organize a night excursion to see this.

looking for a good telescope goto want a model in the range of 400 U.S. dollars?
are these good for Celestron NexStar 114 GT or Meade DS-2114AT
I suggest you join an astronomy club, or at least keep pace in a star party and see what clubs have paid like.Most telescopes can take home once trained.Here is a link to the clubs-http: / / www.astronomyclubs.com/ save up some more money, and in a short time, you know what is good and what is garbage.
