The Astronomy Class meets in local community park settings where students are provided an opportunity to observe not
only the constellations, but to see available planets, stars, and deep space objects with the school's 10 inch Meade Schmidt
Newtonian reflector telescope. Now we are also taking images through our telescope using our Meade CCD digital camera.
Each outing provides new opportunities to try to photograph something new as we learn to use the equipment. The students
are enjoying the process.
