Collecting Data with a Telescope Isaac’s Telescope 6’’ Schmidt- Cassegrains

Pictures taken using the 6” Schmidt Cassegrains Telescope

Twice a month we will observe the stars, take pictures, record and analyze data. We will send our data to Columbia University to be used in actual research papers.
