Scientific paper

We show, with three example experiments, how to measure the Earth precession, the speed of light, and the orbital parameters of the Moon by using only unexpensive amateur material (a telescope with small aperture, a digital camera, and a quartz clock). These experiments do not require a high-level mathematical background, and can be performed by high-school and/or university students. We also provide allthe necessary ephemerides information for the reader to be able to perform all the observations and data analysis by him/herself.
