Preparation:
- Schedule your daytime data acquisition with the TAs. This part of the lab takes about 3-4h; if necessary, this can be split into two parts (imaging and spectroscopy). The weekly check-in deadlines start with taking the day-time data!
- Make sure to read and understand all of the instructions linked above before the lab! You will be quizzed on the concepts that the lab conveys. Moreover, good preparation will allow you to complete the lab faster. If you are not adequately prepared, you will have to reschedule the lab, and will receive a grade penalty.
- Schedule the nighttime observing as instructed in the homework.
