VARIABLE STARS
(A Self-Paced Hands On Laboratory Course about the Study of Variable Stars)

          Students begin with an independent study on the instrumentation to be used and the background and
      nature of the stars to be observed. Students then make approximately weekly observations of variable
      stars using the 14-inch Celestron Telescope at the Harry D. Powell Observatory. The observations are
      reduced and analyzed and submitted to the AAVSO to contribute to the archive data and establish
      light curves for the stars.
