Sabbatical Work, 2023-24 Academic Year

Cerritos College has an observatory on the roof of the MCIS building that houses a Celestron C14 Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. The Physics, Astronomy, and Engineering department has a variety of cameras and filters that can be used with this telescope. My sabbatical work will be to characterize which combination to use with which targets and to write a manual to explain how to use the observatory to other faculty who want to do so. I will also produce a manual with lab activities for astronomy students.
