Physics

Scientific paper

As part of the Pine Mountain Observatory Summer Research Workshop 2009, high school and college students joined with an experienced double star observer and an engineer from Celestron to test a portable observatory utilizing a Celestron NexStar 6 SE with a Celestron Micro Guide eyepiece. This was the first time the students operated a telescope to make quantitative measurements, thus the secondary goal was to make the workshop an educational experience. The observations included a double star with a well known separation and position angle and then a neglected double star.
