Telescope Projects (examples):
- observe the moon and identify main craters
- determine the revolution time of some Jupiter moons
- measure the (relative) temperature of some stars (look for the maximum in
the black body spectrum)
- measure the depth of moon craters by looking at the length of the shade
- composite/mosaic photo of the moon/pleiades
- make a movie of the Jupiter moons
- measure the (relative) temperature of stars in a globular
cluster/pleiades/Orion nebula/Andromeda/...
- observe one of the other planets (Mars, Saturn, Venus, Mercury)
- variable or binary stars: try to find the period
- observe the Whirlpool Galaxy
- observe one of
these
